How many and what modern Zeiss lenses are availabe for III series or M series Leicas? Are you refering to pre-war Germany designs made in the old USSR or East Germany (Jena), or special mounts for newer designs. I love Zeiss lenses ( maybe I put up with the new G-1 - Eric is correct - it is slow and noisy and I don't think really that it was designed for professional use -.see previous comments) - but my God the lens quality is as good as anything I have seen in 35mm, and I've had Leicas from the mid 50's to the present day - also used the MF ones in Rolleis and Hasselblads, Doug **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** ***** Dr. Douglas McLernon, Department of Economics, Trinity College, Dublin 2.
