@@@@@
The wide-angle bias was another minus; one still needs at least
a 90.  If the Tri-Elmar would have been 35-50-75 or better, 35-50-90 I
might have purchased it.

Nigel,
Leica choose the wide-angle bias because M users tend to use the 35 as a
"standard" whilst R users use a 50. They therefore said, "If the standard
zoom required by an R user is 35-70, then the M user will need 28-50, as
they get into the action"
I would love one, and would combine it with the little marvel 90 Elmar C
for light travel.

cheers
