You know, the way Leica is describing this in their new brochure "Leica: The Program" it sounds like they intend to make this a series production lens. These numbers we're getting, I'm willing to bet are just preliminary limits to the numbers they are doing in early production runs. It's probably a hard lens to make, since it has an Aspheric lens, right? So it might be a few years before they can fill the pipeline with adequate numbers to make everyone happy. Otherwise, I would think they'd be charging more for it than $3,000 USD. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Capt'n! The spellchecker kinna take this abuse
