More likely are additional discontinuations of slower-selling products
(perhaps some of the lenses we all love) and "streamlining" such as the
180/2.8R and 180/3,4R being replaced by the 180 APO; and the 135/2.8M
and135/4M by the 135/3,4.  I wonder if the 90/2.8M will be cut when the
90/2APO finally arrives?  I also noted when the 21 ASPH was introduced,
that it shares the mount and shade with the 24 ASPH.  Perhaps there will
be more such instances in the future.

Regards,
Nigel
