Just picked one up a couple of weeks ago at Glazers camera in Seattle.
Wonderful lens...I didn't think it was possible to improve on the current
Elmarit. ;-)

You can talk to Russ Sherrel at Glazers: http://www.glazerscamera.com.

What is Herr Cohn's background?

What is Herr Cohn supposed to accomplish?

Is Herr Cohn another "bean counter" who does not know precision manufacture 
from tin cans and will further degrade the Leica cameras and lens mounts or 
does he plan to put engineering types in charge and return the former
quality 
to the Leica system?

Has Leica issued a press release outlining the new direction of the company?

Has any of the LUG actually purchased and have on hand a 90 mm APO-ASPH M 
series lens?  If so, please advise where such a lens may be purchased.
