And think about the price of a good used >90 Summicron and what performance difference there would be. Not in my >lifetime would I buy "generic" Leica mount lenses. The only thing I can see that might make sense is if someone made a lens that Leica doesn't offer. Now that Leica has filled about the only "hole" in the M lens line with the 24mm, it would have to be something wider than 21mm. Longer than 135 wouldn't make a lot of sense. It seems especially strange to me that someone felt there was a need for an alternative to the 35mm Summicron, for instance. - - Paul
