ASPH/APO = new lens sales! $$$ Leica needs bucks, their computer programs are obviously set for design useing the most advanced glass materials and designs, the factory knows how to crank out ASPH elements...And they sell a lot of new lenses that make them cash..... so why not? Imagine the sales appeal.....they want to lead the pack.... Be the first on your block to own a New! Leica 50mm F1:2.0 APO-ASPH Summicron-M in Black Chromium Mount! or Extra New! Leica 50mm F1:1.4 APO-ASPH Summilux-M in Black Chromium Mount! I can hear the mouths water.......Wait.. I just had a brainstorm.... New! Leica 50mm F 1:2.0 APO-ASPH Hermes-M in Glove soft red normandy goatskin! Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
