90mm apo macro m in the pipeline?

[per_volquartz1]

Does anyone know if an Apo Macro 90mm lens is being produced - ready

to be marketed ? If so - any pictures / info about such a lens?

I think they said it ( 90mm f/4 Elmar-M to be precise ) would be available in November. The lens lists for $1,400 and the additional Macro Adapter (to get closer) lists for $950. It's in the Fall 2003 "Leica View" magazine, so I'd assume it's also on Leica's web site by now.

It's actually not an Apo-Macro. The lens is a Macro-Elmar (collapsible_. But for $1,300 smakaroos for the lens and $850 for the macro tube with the eyes it's frightfully expensive for such a toy. <p>

I asked today and was told November 20th by RG Lewis (London) for Black with Chrome (which I've ordered) to follow "soon after" for the Macro Elmar 90

But not as strange an idea as the revived Null Serie.

I saw it on Leica Day at Bob Davis Camera in La Jolla. It's a collapsible 90, separate
