VERY interesting to read that Leica has one Kornelius Mueller to head up their "commercialisation" area, whatever that does. Marketing I think. That name sounds awfully familiar from Zeiss! The range brochure including the MTF graphs is now downloadable. It also shows the optional lenshoods for the new designs. The MTF figures look impressive, especially for the 75. Unsurprising that Leica has done well there, with the more modest apertures. Still yummy figures if you are a Leica gearhead. The article confirms the cessation of the Elmar M 2.8 50 and the 2.8 90. It also notes that the WATE (16-18-21) has increased in price a LOT but hints about forthcoming new wides. We shall see. Here's the link for the new Summarit brochure <http://www.leica-camera.us/assets/file/download.php?filename=file_3234.pdf> http://www.leica-camera.us/assets/fi...=file_3234.pdf Cheers Hoppy
