Richard is right, I was speaking of the new SL lenses, which are cost-no-object
lenses. They are made along with the Leica-Thread-Mount (LTM) lenses and the
M-Mount 35/1.2 to be Cosina's best lenses. There are four currently available
(US prices):
40/2 Asph $360
75/2.5 $460
90/3.5 Apo $390
125/2.5 Apo 1:1 Macro $650
Look here to see them and their focusing direction:
