Jim,

CAN BE EQUIPPED FOR LEICAFLEX MODELS:
28 mm ELMARIT-R f/2.8 from 3367501 - all models
35 mm ELMARIT-R f/2.8 from 3332801 - all
50 mm SUMMILUX-R f/1.4 from 3291801 - all
60 mm MACRO-ELMAR-R f/2.8 from 3335501 - SL/5L2 models
80 mm SUMMILUX R f/1.4 from 3267301 - no
90 mm SUMMICRON-R f/2 from 3381677 - all
90 mm ELMARIT-R f/2.8 from 3384201 - SL/5L2 models

I do not understand the lack of backward convertability of the 80/1.4 Summilux. 
I own a 3 cam version (3.05 million) that works just fine on my SL, so why can't 
 they retrofit newer third cam lenses?
