I've seen it and it's a HUGE lens and I heard that optically it's as good as the West German version. You can put T-mounts on the Jena lens, allowing all different types of camera bodies on it, even the Leica R bodies. Metering is affected however, but then when you're using a 32 lb lens, there's no hurry. ADL
