The 35mm Summilux went from pre-asph to asph (via aspherical) many years 
before digital M was available. I guess the age of the design meant it was 
due for an overhaul...

And both gone the way of the Tasmanian Tiger. Not sure why  the Summicron
left the catalog but the summilux they had to redo and up the price 50% so
it would be fully compatible with shooting to a sensor. I'm pretty sure is
how the story goes.
