  Ernie "ludite" Nitka here:  Leica's lineup is confusing to me.  They 
are making world class , super fast lenses as if we were still shooting 
film and at the same time making advances in ISO on their digital 
bodies.  So what is the purpose of a 21/2.4 on a monochrome camera with 
ISO of 10K ( assuming that usable iso is 2-3K).  It is rather mute as I 
can't afford the new , fast lenses even though I still shoot film.

If I were Leica I'd go back to f/2.5 lineup that was afordable and would 
mate up fine with higher iso M9.
