The interesting thing on the blurb from Leica about the new ASph lens and   
its element is that its ground rather than moulded, I wonder if this is   
because its made in Canada, Eric?

Solms have touted their moulding abilities over the last 2 or 3 asph   
releases but here it mentions the older technology in creating it, I   
wonder why that would be?
Perhaps its too complex a shape or something, i don't know but I'll ask   
at Photokina.

Anyone else have burning Qs they'd like asking on their behalf?

Too bad about that Konica M-body, I'd have been interested to see that.
