What a sales tragedy this is. Who would pay $4000-$6000 for a lens, with a very large outrageously expensive protruding front element, and NOT be allowed to photograph through a windshield. Jeez. What could Leitz/Leica/Zeiss be thinking! The horror of it all! That aside, I had and used a 15mm Super-Elmar for many many years. O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G lens!!! The reason I sold it is that the work I did with my R cameras I now do with my Hasselblad. It's M only for 35mm for me. Jim [NO UV]
