[Leica] R7/6 brochure vs. R8 brochure lens selection

[AINA NILSEN and - or JOHN GILBERT <ainilsen@online.no>]

I posted this earlier just before the digest went quiet for a few days. 
Thought I'd see if I could get a response. I wrote:

I got a hold of some R6 and R7 brochures and compared the lens selection to 
the new R8 brochure. Leica seems to be trimming down on its glass 
selection. No more 21, 35PC, 180 f4 to name but a few. Of course the whole 
Telyt system's been redone. Any reason for this streamlining?
