I did not qualify the F or the FE version, and it is irrelevant to the fact the 110/2 has been out for 24 years. What's the problem you are having with that? That's like saying the M6 has been out for x years, and you arguing that it hasn't, since there is now another 'version' of it out. They are all M6s. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of george day > Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 10:43 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: RE: [Leica] OT MF RF > > > The FE lens is not "new"?
