Perhaps, but I don't really think so. Could this new LTM body be built to
the standards of the old ones and still be affordable? Why buy a new one
when there are so many nice old ones around? New LTM lenses may be a
different story. I bought a new 35 Summicron Asph and will but a new
Summilux when I can afford it. I'd love to have a nice new LTM 90mm as well.
