Nathan I do not think any bloggers influence Leica lens prices. Everything
is hard to get and there are very few bargains. Just supply and demand. The
lens has been well known for a long time with people that follow Leica.
Steve Huff is known to be a keen reviewer on line and I think he gets
invited to launches etc too and I think is keen on Leica . Good for him.

Cheers,
Geoff
