It is not a myth. And I have it on good authority that it's going to be a
landmark lens. In fact, the 100 Apo macro might take second place! Ignoring
the significant differences in why one would own either lens.

That's all I can say about it right now. I'm hoping for an R version. I'm
sure we'll see it (the M version) at Photokina.
