So, at the risk of appearing redundant: I have just got a new Elmarit 90 and there to the right of the white "m" is the number 10. Does this mean that the focal length of this lens is really 100mm? If so this seems a rather large difference from the stated focal length and I would be surprised that Leica or any lens maker would sell a 100mm lens as a 90mm. Michael Paine
