This lens is from Ricoh.  In limited supply for Japan markets
(this spring/summer), like Konica's 35/2 (last year) and 50/2.4
(this year) for Leica screwmount.  Seems that the information 
for these lenses appeared only in Japanese photo magazines.
You need to make a reservation (through camera stores in Japan)
for such lenses before they are available.  It is hard to get 
them now.
