Sorry if this wasn't clear.  All the lenses I've mentioned are for
Leica rangefinders.  The Avenon, Konica and Ricoh are Leica
screw-mount (L-mount).  The Sigma R&D guy said that if they were going
to make lenses for Leica rangefinders, they wouldn't make
L/screw-mount lenses, they would make M/bayonet-mount lenses.  The
issue was screw-mount vs. bayonet-mount for Leica rangefinders.
