Mark,

Take a deep breath and see if you can remember. Is it ASPH or APO
or both? IMO, ASPH could be good. APO is not for me if it's like the
90 APO. Compact and light would be good, e.g. no heavier and not
much larger than the 50 ASPH.

This lens was due to be released at Photokina, no one seems to know
what happened, and Hanns-Peter isn't answering his e-mail...
