Not to rekindle old threads, but the lens in 
question is an f/4 9cm Elmar, not a 90cm 
lens!  Leitz did make some incredible lenses in 
that range which the Luftwaffe used to photograph 
German bombers over the White Cliffs of Dover, 
returning from the bombing of London during the 
Blitz, but I do not believe that anyone on this 
List has the necessary wealth to pick up one of these!
