For anyone who owns or owned old issues of Leica Photography, which one had a detailed article on the APO 180/3.4 R lens? I suspect it was a 1975 issue but don't know which one. I'd like to know before buying one on eBay.

Marco Cavina has an article for Apo lenses, here in Italian

I can only clearly remember one special characteristic mentioned in the most authoritative photo magazine in the Netherlands at that time and it was: the remarkable capacity of this lens to penetrate through mist and fog. I remind this because it was confirmed in practice.
