They still do, it has been around a long time (15 years?) so I guess there 
are plenty of copies... Also people selling them before the 28mm Summilux is 
released ;-)

Interesting.  i remember several years ago everyone was praising the 28 
Chron.  I wonder what has changed?

If I do street documentary, I would get a 28mm (again) for sure. I did most 
of my "Occupy" series with the 35 or 50mm, and I definitely would have loved 
a 28mm.

Fortunately, the 28mm Cron is the unloved Leica-child, so one can get it for 
around $2500 now. A bargain compares to the Nocti :-)
