Interesting that this subject has come up.  Just a couple weeks ago I posed a
question on the AOL Leica board about the Adorama lenses...got a few replies
but none from anyone who actually owns one.  The very lowest price I've seen
anywhere on a used Super-Angulon f/4 was just under $1000, without a finder.
 I so rarely use this focal length that I'm seroiusly prepared to suffer the
mockings of Leicaphiles everywhere, in the interest of obtaining the 21mm
f/2.8 that POP Photo (if you can believe them considering the huge multi-page
ad that Adorama buys every month) gave a fairly decent review to...at $799 inc
luding a finder and a lenshood.  If anyone here has actually owned and/or
shot with this lens, I'd appreciate hearing from you...even if you want to
e-mail me rather than risk exposure (oh, what an awful pun) as an heretic.
 The POP test of the Adorama lenses URL is
aol://4344:190.ppc60451.2172618.514914992  (but I don't know if you have to
be an AOL subscriber to access it).
