i hear (from a VERY knowledgable source) that the 35mm will be delivered very soon (maybe within a month), the 120mm in summer and the 24mm not this year. the zoom lens might come earlier than that. did not inquire on CS lenses. the system is supposed to be completed within 2 years' time.

This is good news. You information regarding the 24mm and 30-90 zoom are different than what I have heard previously. In particular, I inquired about the S zoom to Leica personnel involved with the S system development at PhotoPlus last fall and, at the time, they indicated the zoom had been pushed back in order to concentrate on higher priority lenses such as the 24mm and the T/S. I was disappointed because I had hoped to use the 30-90 zoom as my primary lens. Fortunately, the 70mm is more versatile than I expected.

Consistent with what I heard in Tokyo. SImilar to Mark, I was also hoping for the zoom to be higher priority but I am currently enjoying the 70.

Stephan, your choice of smiley gave me a smile. Any information you can divulge about the sequence of planned S lens rollouts would be appreciated. As stated above, I am keenly interested in the 30-90mm zoom whereas others are looking forward to the macro and tilt/shift lenses.

Stephan, I understand. It is not a problem for me as I don't expect to be in position to buy another S lens before Photokina. I was asking more for my own financial planning purposes and for others that may be in the market sooner.
