Subject: APO Telyt 180mm/3.4

LUGs,

Would someone comment on the history of the APO Telyt 180mm/3.4. Why would
Leitz come up with this lens, which appears to be in competition with the
Elmarit and Elmar lenses of the same focal length. Why is it that the new
version of the Elmarit (2.8) lens appears to command a higher price on the
used market than the APO??

Thank you and Best of Light,

Chris
