My first bet was that he uses Kodak HIE with a dark IR filter, also
resulting in 25 ASA. Quite common in aerial photography, and the
Leica APO will work fine without IR correction, no other 'slow' 180
or 200mm will. Only Zeiss and Leica use the word APO this way, most
other manufacturers do not....:-((
