Because (a) there are only 2.000 (of which 1.000 somehow "disappeared"), and (b) the production of 2 asph lenses is quite expensive. This one I saw in a shop by accident, and it had only half of the usual price - because the shop's collaborators didn't know the value, and I didn't fill them in. So, it went away on the shop's price, becasue I have a 2nd version on my M6-ESL.
