Roland Vink:
A successor to the 90/3.5 Apo-Lanthar, with faster aperture:

I couldn't find any additional specifications. At one time I considered buying the 90/3.5 Apo-Lanthar (I got close to winning a couple on ebay) but I always felt that f/3.5 was too slow for this focal length, f/2.8 will be more useful. If it is a semi-macro lens like the older version it will be hard to resist! A nice companion for my Voigtlander 40mm SLIIS ultron :)

Roland, thanks for the link.
f/2.5 would have been even nicer, but I must say that the traditional Nikon-esque styling looks rather nice - in keeping with the 58mm f/1.4 lens from this manuafacturer.

very tiny :o :o :o

It appears that the new lens will only focus down to 0.9m, whereas the Voigtlander 90mm F3.5 APO-Lanthar SL II focuses down to 0.50m. In part this helps account for the small size of the new optic.

That was for the Leica M mount. Rangefinder lenses usually don't focus close, I'm hoping the F-mount version gets a bit closer.
