Resale prices of non-ASPH should soften. <snip> OK I found the lastest skinny on the ASPH 35 mm lens at http://www.leicasource.com/rangefinder.html and http://www.leica-camera.com/m_system/mobj_e.htm and http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/m/lenses/pages/l11879.html and with the message that I just received from George Huczek I think I understand a lot more and will be ordering a: SUMMICRON-M ASPH. f/2/35 64° 7/5 0.7m 255g BUT you just threw me a curve on the "ASPH like the latest 90 f2.8" Are you sure about this one? And if so zing me a reference please. I think the lastest 90 f2.8 is: ELMARIT-M f/2.8/90 27° 4/4 1.0m 410g Dale - -- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
