While it's a 90mm f4 collapsible lens it's the macro version that Leica developed only 4 years ago or so. It can be purchased with the close-up attachment goggles like the 50mm Dual Range Summicron but focuses much closer. The lens is current and can be purchased new with 6 bit coding. Is this the one you have? .............................................................................................................. Oops, sorry. I wasn't paying close attention. I thought you were talking about the old collapsible 90. No, I don't have the new macro version. I think my newest Leitz lens is from about 1960 (now that I think about it, all my lenses for my Leicas are pre-1960, my bodies pre-'66).
