One of my customers brought one in yesterday, so I was able to get a good look at it. The rear elements do not protrude too deep into the lens opening. Took a few photos with the lens. Only scale focussing as there is no focus cam. Pictures looked nice and sharp, but watch out for severe distortion if you move off of vertical. Much harder to use properly than a 21. The acces. finder is lovely, very clear and bright. Leica should take a real serious look at these. Overall impression very favorable, especially for the price. Bill Rosauer
