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.
