Since Nikon already has a 28/1.4, Leica would not like to offer something similar unless it has an aspheric element. But making a 28/1.4 ASPH would be too expensive to worth the effort, hence no lens, no chance.... After all, they do not want to lose money on a lens they are incapable of making. ;-) Joseph <- becoming more cynical everyday....
