Well Marc,

I remember reading it in a magazine some time ago.  I will see if I can find
it, believe it was American Photographer but I may be wrong.  The only
reason it struck me was that it was a Zeiss lens  on a Leica body which I
thought an odd combo.  The reasons given as to why HCB did this was that the
lens was faster at 1.5 than available Leica lenses, and allegedly less
expensive.  That's all I can recall.

So would I!  No one at the Zeiss end seems to know anything about this,
either.  Mehr lecht, bitte!
