As a serious amateur since the age of 13 (...now having just reached the = magic 50) I treated myself to a present of a long-planned dream M outfit to = complement my N***N F5 slr kit. Two chrome M6's ...one always filled with Agfa Scala B & W slide film = (an absolutely brilliant film)...the other with Velvia or Sensia II. =20 As for lenses, I agonised.....but finally settled on a Summicron = "family" (nearly as expensive as my other family!!!)....35mmf2 = Asph...latest 50mm...and 90mm...again all silver chrome. They fit = beautifully in to the perfectly designed Billingham "Alice" bag. My slides go back the 37 years I've been learning about this marvellous = passion of ours...projected via a Pradovit 2002 with Asph lens, all set = up in a dedicated room at my home for "instant" no-set-up-viewing on a = 60 x 60 (that's inches!!) screen. I've been used to using professional zooms and single focal lengths from = "that other manufacturer" for some time...but there is no doubt = that,used correctly, the Summicrons have a different "palette" with = absolutely outstanding depth of colour and perceived sharpness corner to = corner at 60 x 60 inches. Now the question...=20 about that APO-Summicron M ASPH 90mm...I was assured a mere couple of = months ago that there were no plans for a new version of the 90mm, and a = leading London Leica specialist reconfirmed the view that aspherics were = not of much use in lenses over 50mm. There is no news of a 90mm = Summicron Asph here in UK as I write...and I would love to hear more.If = it does exist I'll feel more than slightly "miffed" at Leica UK telling = me to go ahead and buy the existing 90 with a replacement now coming = just weeks after they told me none was planned.

Yes, that is the designation.
