[Leica] A new tri-elmar soon?

[dnygr at cshore.com (Douglas Nygren)]

The first tri-elmar (a wonderful 28, 35, 50mm lens) was discontinued a 
few years ago.

I heard that was because the glass it used was either too expensive or 
too hard to get.

In any case, it's a gem and no longer available except on the used 
market.

The current tri-elmar's rumored demise is a loss. If a new one is on 
the way, I expect, given the trend toward atmospheric prices for new 
Leica lenses, its replacement will not be cheap.
