[Leica] Friday Flowers

Chris,

Not too sure, but I do know it is the same design as the 90 Apo M lens.  I 
have the 90 Elmarit R, and it is one of my favorites, a real nice piece of 
glass, and small size when compared to the Summicron.  I have passed up on 
the 180 3.4 several times, but I think the next time I run across one I am 
going to grab it.  I like the images and the size is smaller than the 2.8's 
with not that big of a light loss.  It is a heavy sucker though, for its 
size.
