Subject: [Leica] New Tri lens for the M

Just spoke to Eli at Wall Street Camera.  He informs me that the lens 
should be "here" in June...as noted 28-35-50mm some sort of an 
aspheric lens, but he isn't completely sure.  His partner, Andy, is 
going to the show in New Orleans, and will have further details soon.  
Surprisingly,cost is under $2500...would have thought it might have 
been plenty more.  Agree with the previous suggestion about a great 
Leica outfit being this Tri lens and the Noctilux.  This lens will 
probably keep the "standard" body in vogue indefinitely.  Interesting 
marketing by Leica.
