Thank you, Lucien.
Rang through to Leica UK just now....they know nothing of this lens or =
its 11884 reference number and rather "disdainfully" say that anything =
other than the Leica website is mere rumour!!

I don't know why, but Leica UK seem always to be the latest=20
to know about new Leica stuffs. They make a speciality to
deny every news. I think it's a way to make business.
(They are not the only English importer behaving like that)
(This is a personnal opinion.)
The new 11884 APO-Summicron-M ASPH 90/2 is on the Belgian Importer
list since 2 months now.
(But will not be available before mid 98)
And we heard about it on the LUG several weeks if not months=20
before that.
