Thought I'd see if I could get a response. I wrote: I got a hold of some R6 and R7 brochures and compared the lens selection to the new R8 brochure. Leica seems to be trimming down on its glass selection. No more 21, 35PC, 180 f4 to name but a few. Of course the whole Telyt system's been redone. Any reason for this streamlining? > >JG > ########### The reason is quite clear :all these lenses have an old design and are superseded by new lenses (21 by 19, 35 by 28 PC, 4/180 by 2 or 2.8 or even 4/80-200). There is one lens I'm sorry for the disappearance : the elmarit 90. I have one and it is a great versatile lens. Dominique Pellissier
