All R lenses were moved to Solms that are Leica made lenses, no? And ELCA was sold a while back to Hughes.

I heard from a source at the last Photokina, or the one before, that in the '98 Photokina they were going to introduce a new Noctilux formula. Not just the cosmetic change of recent years. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Rehab is for quitters.
