Hello,
Just find on the web at : http://www.leica-camera.com/r_system/rnew_e.htm
informations about the new VARIO-ELMAR 35-70 F4, plus a small picture.

"This lens can immediately be identified as one of the growing series of
high-performance Leica
zoom lenses from its exterior. Besides covering the most frequently used focal
lengths from the
small wide angle to the short telephoto range, the lens has a macro setting for
close-ups down to a scale ratio of 1:4.4 - which corresponds to a frame-filling
rendering of an object 102 x
157 mm in size! The vastness of a landscape can already be captured impressively
at 35 mm. Equally natural effects can be produced when taking indoor photographs
of one or more people, and most flash units provide reliable illumination of the
image field. On the other hand, surrounding details can be highlighted to great
effect at the 70 mm setting. Even at full aperture, this two-ring zoom offers
excellent imaging quality with high resolution
and contrast and an outstandingly flat field.
It is even possible to use it with the 2x EXTENDER-R."
Wich one?? The apo I hope.

Lucien
