Are you sure, or is it a lack of confirmation that makes you say that there is no R version coming? I would certainly not expect a 135 f/3.4 to sell well on an SLR, so I can see why they won't make that an R lens, but the 90 Summicron R was discontinued. And there is no way Leica would go without that lens in the R line, if they have any sanity left. Even if emphasis will be on zooms, they can't ignore photographers who need more speed than f/2.8. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch .'Sounds like art,' the instructor says.
