Is this fat, thin, when was it made? It's close to mint. I'm curious because the shop is selling it for around US$900, which seems a lot to me for such a lens, given the price of the new Elmarit-M. Maybe it has some collectability significance? More likely the stupid prices of leica gear, even secondhand, in Italy. Thanks for any info. I won't be buying it whatever! Ciao Rob.
