Quoting Leonard Taupier <len-1@comcast.net> :

Alan, I think we're talking about different lenses. While it's a 90mm   
f4 collapsible lens it's the macro version that Leica developed only   
4 years ago or so. It can be purchased with the close-up attachment   
goggles like the 50mm Dual Range Summicron but focuses much closer.   
The lens is current and can be purchased new with 6 bit coding. Is   
this the one you have? 
..............................................................................................................
Oops, sorry.  I wasn't paying close attention.  I thought you were talking 
about the old collapsible 90.  No, I don't have the new macro version.
I think my newest Leitz lens is from about 1960 (now that I think about it, 
all my lenses for my Leicas are pre-1960, my bodies pre-'66).
