Not until finally this year But:
What's more exquisite than exquisite? The 100mm Makro Elmarit focuses close then
the 90 APO ASPH that's one thing for  sure. Plenty of people not into those
little frame lines using a longer lens with an M. An entirely different
photographic experience M verses R.
And it may be a difference as Erwin often says visible with large sandbagged
tripods and the slowest films blown up to larger magnifications.
