[Leica] Leica officially announced Thambar 2.2/90

[jshulman at judgecrater.com (Jim Shulman)]

I'm waiting for them to bring back the Mountain Elmar.  With a f6.3 maximum
aperture, it was a dog with 1930s films, but no problem with modern sensors.

REALLY????????? They've made a new/old lens that doesn't focus nor record
SHARPLY????
I apologies? ;-) It focuses sharply! But misty like??  HOWEVER????IT RECORDS
THE IMAGE "SOFTLY!!"
And for maybe a price $3000.oo or more dollars??
They are either "CRAZY? OR BEEN DRINKING TOO MUCH GERMAN BEER STILL THINKING
THEY'er ????" THE GIANTS THEY WERE!  :-( Or have no idea just how many of us
are receiving SOLID paying assignments so we can continue to buy LEICA
CAMERAs!
LEICA would be far better off today and the future to manufacture best
quality I-phones with Leica lenses! There "LEICA" IF YOU READ OUR POSTINGS?
A FREE LENS/CAMERA SUGGESTION!" Well new version top line phones are selling
for $1000-$2000?
Ok now I'm going to have my afternoon nap!
AS THE WELL MEANING DOCTOR'S ORDER!!;-)
oh well sweet dreams old fella!  :-)
cheers,
