Joseph, do you know if they have improved the process or change some of the
optics to make it easier on the production line?

This lens is being offered again, and several lenses have been made
recently.  In this household a couple of them are used on a regular basis.

Leica are charging more for this lens now.  The first batch left the factory
at US$1,500 each, and now they are selling for close to US$4,000.  Expect
the retail price to be in the region of US$6,000.

I am still trying hard to fulfil the back orders.  Despite the higher price,
I am just glad this lens is once again available.

Joseph
