Subject: [Leica] Rollei 40/2.8 Sonnar Lens in LTM

I picked up a Rollei 40mm lens in LTM which arrived while I was out of town. 
Haven't shot a roll with it yet but I see it is labled as 'Made in Germany' 
(& not Japan). The build quality seems first rate (i.e. very Leica like). It 
comes in a green box with a hard leather case and Leica M Mount adapter. The 
lens includes a small built-in hood and front and rear lens cap.

I believe Rollei made the mistake of assuming that any lens built for Leica 
cameras should sell for Leica prices. 

I find a modern lens in LTM a big advantage as I can use it on my LTM 
cameras. More to come when I get back a developed and scanned roll.

Regards,

Greg
