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.
