" Leica R lenses Leica 15mm f/3.5 Super-Elmar-R ? 1980 (Carl Zeiss design)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_Camera Which makes one assume they had a hand in it like they did the Hologon. But it could be a mistake. As it seems very few lenes out there are NOT patterned on a Zeiss design from the beginning. But are just tweaked a bit and given a new name.
