Kind of an interesting rumor. Would you be interested?
You've got to wonder, even among Leica users who really like things compact, how many people the current 28 Elmarit-M ASPH isn't small enough for. But more than that, I wonder if a lens can even get much smaller - at some point the limiting factor isn't the optics but the helicoid and having, you know, somewhere to put an aperture ring.
Alternately, I wonder if this means the 28 Elmarit is about to get bigger. Say, an ultra-performance APO version? Though looking at the 50 APO I would expect even a 28 APO-Elmarit-M ASPH to still be pretty darn small...

They just redesigned the Elmarit-M 28,so I'd be surprised if there's another update of that lens coming soon.
If it's flat field perfection wide open, tiny, and relatively inexpensive (this being Leica, of course), I'm guessing it might interest quite a few landscapers and maybe even some daylight street shooters.
