These are screw mount versions of the M lenses in silver: (they say by late August) 35f2.0 ASPH 50f1.4 50f2.0 ...and a new 35mm finder! Those tired old SBLOO's may finally get a break! These will be made primarily for Japan, but we should be able to get some according to Leica. Predictibly they will be in limited supply. Leica says this is in response to popularity of the "Bessa L" by Voigtlander, and Minolta and Konica's SM lenses. Wow! Maybe we are seeing the begining of a "new" Leica here? I will not list prices as it is not Friday, but if anyone has a strong interest feel free to call me at (212) 475-5660 any time today. I can tell you what I know and you may pre-reserve a lens. later, Rich
