Yes, my most favorite (SL & R) lens also, besides the 4/21 SA :)

I'm not so sure, that Solms will update this lens. They have the
fantastic 100 mm, and the no less fantastic 1.4/80 ... why should
they offer an APO 2/90 ? I guess, they will stop the production
of the lens completely, and offer just the 2.8/90 R lens for low 
budgets. But, I hope, that I'm wrong.
