Saw some interesting new gear but not as much as last year. Will report in more detail in due course. Had a long and interesting chat with the folks from Leica: Messers Horn (President, Leica USA), Strauch (VP, Marketing & Sales, Leica Solms) and Hagenauer (Communications & PR, Leica Solms). Met several fellow LUGers. Once again Saw several M's, LTM's a CLE, but no R's. Hmmmm...... Now for the $ 1000 + (US) question. How many of you would be seriously interested in buying a 90 mm 2,8 Elmarit - M (current optical formula) in a LTM fitting ? The 35 & 50 are already available, but no 90. Please think VERY CAREFULLY before replying. No silly one liners please. To preempt an obvious question, the 90 APO Summicron is not likely to be made available in LTM.
