This lens's prices have been on the rise before the Steve Huff review.  
It's been a very popular lens a on a couple of forums for the last year 
or so.  I wouldn't be surprised if the review was driven by that, not 
the other way around.  I bought mine 1.5 years ago when it was still 
'affordable' and you could tell it would be the next lens where prices 
got ridiculous in the very near future.

I actually just got rid of mine.  Wonderful lens but I hated the focus 
on it - way too stiff and long for me.  If I stick with Leica, maybe it 
will be a lens I buy again some day...
