The previous LTM versions sold at a premium over the M lens they were 
based on. A group non-profit buy might net a reasonable price but $500 
sounds a tad low to me.

As I have said before, we just have to organize a group buy. The only 
hitch is that everyone would have to put their money up front and be 
prepared to wait a year or two. I am willing to join in.

Anyone else?
