[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have just had forwarded from my German publisher a Fax from an anonymous Japanese source listing the following Japanese lenses in Leica mount. (The author indicates these are all Leica thread-mount, though I had thought some, if not all, were in M mount): 3.5/28 Avenon (marketed in the US already by Adorama) 2.8/21 Avenon (marketed in the US already by Adorama) 2/35 Hexanon (1000 marketed in 1996) 2.4/50 collapsible Hexanon (marketed in April, 1997) 2.8/28 Ricoh GR 1 (will be marketed in May, 1997, 2000 in chrome, 1000 in black) There is no mention of the Asanumi 21mm and 28mm lenses as announced at Photokina 1994. Perhaps these are the Avenon lenses listed above. This information confirms what has already been posted here recently on this subject.
