I'm sure he won't mind. snip========= A new Leica lens, the 70-180 APO Elmarit-R, has just been announced! It consists of 13 Elements ( five of which are APO glass ) & is supposed to be the quality of the 100mm APO Macro. Really! snip======== He said it will be in the $6,000 range. That sounds like a problem, but considering it's going to replace two Leica lenses, or more, it doesn't sound so bad. I'm going to keep my R7 and 1.4 Apo converter now! And wait for a doctor to sell it used! <g> Regards, Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
