I'm looking at some $15,000 US for items with the Leica name, but no regrets. It's money that could have bought be the most incredible slew of N or C lenses, but I have what I want, really. I would enjoy having the new R-summilux 50, but I've decided I'm not going for it. I thought about it seriously, but 50 isn't my favorite focal length (though I do use it). If Leica were to make a faster 24mm, I'd probably go for it, though. I might have had regrets if I'd have only one Leica camera and two lenses and no cash left to buy more. In such case I'd be better off with cheaper brands, because I need three bodies minimum, and 5 lenses to make a system work for me. I have regrets about putting $10,000 into Hasselblad, though. I think I'll get out of the system. I'm not sure what I'll replace it with, but it's not working for me. Bernard.
