Leica announced it's new Schneider designed SUPER-ELMARIT-R 15mm f/2.8
ASPH. In an newsletter email and on their website.
ON their website is a PDF.
http://www.leica-camera.com/imperia/md/content/pdf/rsystem/15.pdf

and no mention of it being a Schneider JSK lens which is a real selling point.

To me not having it use the normal nomoclature for Schneider desinged
wide angle lens such as "Super Angulon" was a mild mistake.
If it did my next M6 would be an R8.
But there is no mention of Schneider on the website or in the PDF and i
think that is a BIG mistake.

A big selling point, if you ask me the fact that JSK was involved with it.
And no clue, the price so far that i could find.
