[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Leica announced it's new Schneider designed SUPER-ELMARIT-R 15mm f/2.8 ASPH. In an newsletter email and on their website. ON their website is a PDF. http://www.leica-camera.com/imperia/md/content/pdf/rsystem/15.pdf and no mention of it being a Schneider JSK lens which is a real selling point. To me not having it use the normal nomoclature for Schneider desinged wide angle lens such as "Super Angulon" was a mild mistake. If it did my next M6 would be an R8. But there is no mention of Schneider on the website or in the PDF and i think that is a BIG mistake. A big selling point, if you ask me the fact that JSK was involved with it. And no clue, the price so far that i could find. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
