 recall about R lenses there are a couple of APOs from Leica that reputedly
 are truly apochromatic...one of the R people can undoubtedly shed some
 light on that point. >>

From my understanding, all the Leica APOs are "true" APOs.  The ability to
focus all three wave lengths are achieved from near  focus to infinity.  Some
manufacturers advertise their lenses as APO but fail to mention that it is
only "APO" at infinity.
