Schneider Super Symmar XL 80/f4.5 announced?

[Lloyd Chamber]

Did Schneider announce their Super Symmar XL 80/f4.5 at Photokina? does anyone know when it will be available (in the states or otherwise)?

I found I really could have used this focal length recently.

Do you have a link in English for the non-Deutchophone?

Thanks! Nathan

We spoke with Germany today. The lens should be available in mid November.
