I wish I could! Here in Italy I've rumours from the importer (referred
by the dealer) that the 90apo-asph will be delayed due to problems in
aspheric surface manufacturing.

Then on the LUG I read of lucky mortals who already have it!

Who's the one to believe? :-)

BTW, there seems to be a shortage of 135apo as well, as my dealer
(who's one of the busiest) has had only one since its debut. Does
Leica discriminate markets? :-)
