This is in fact an M lens: I have seen it in the store window mentioned. It
or one like it was on offer at Christies a few years back. It is, I recall,
a fixed focus lens for some very special purpose and not a user lens.
Perhaps it has military bokeh applications about which we can only
speculate.
If you think the Noctilux obscures too much of the rangefinder this 90mm
will horrify you.
I also saw a Hasselblad 30mm rectilinear lens for 120 (no not the Xpan one
nor the fisheye) in a HK store about which I have heard nothing elsewhere.
Again a military spec optic I suspect.
