I'd like to see one, but that is probably about it. For $500 less, I can have the new 28mm Summicron, which I will get tons of use out of. A camera dealer told me the other day that most of the people who buy the 0s don't even bother to open the box. They just put them away as an investment. So, if one is that kind of collector, I suppose it makes sense (though not even open the box???). But, if you want to shoot, save you money for another M body or a lens or two. I wouldn't expect to see any 0 photos on the web anytime soon. But, then, somebody will probably do it just to show those of us great unwashed of Leicadom.
