John,

OK then can you define some "real lenses" that Leica currently
does not produce?

BTW, speaking of real lenses, I just saw a 90mm Summicron
whose aperture scale is backwards!  In other words, I know
that when I want to go to maximum aperture, I turn the ring to
the left.  This lens goes 'tother way!
