Hi Eric.
I just received from Leica, 1 pc of the 21/2,8 Asph.($2195) and also the
24/2,8 Asph.
The next shipment is scheduled for next week and Leica is Expecting  to
receive the 35/2 Asph.  Maybe???...
Too bad about the break in to Don's Place.   Luckily for him the camera and
lenses were not touched.
