Subject: [Leica] Lanthanide glass?

Guys,

Knowing your expertise....

What is the issue with Lanthanum in lenses. I thought its use had been
discontinued long ago on health grounds, maybe in the 50s, although what the
details were I don't recall. Now someone else tells me otherwise.

...were there other compounds discontinued for similar reasons?

Peter
