There is some speculation that it will be offered in a second run. That would probably anger collectors, but this should be a user lens, not a collectable. Yes, it is LTM. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Dennis Painter Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 11:02 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] 50/2.8 Elmar Collapsible Is the new Heliar available in threadmount? A new 50mm collapsable in threadmount seems hard to find. Even if the Heliar is threadmount I understand you have to buy a body to get the lens. Leica should look at producing the Anastigmat on the O in threamount. Given the modern lenses they produced in threadmount didn't sellout all that well I suspect Leica has said never again.
