Yikes, and they want MORE than the price of a Summicron 90 ASPH for it. Apparently quite a big lens and not a good balance on an M. I have a Contax 1.4 85 in N mount and it is a bazooka let me tell you. In fact it was that lens on the N1 that persuaded me I needed to have a big hard look at myself and shoot just with the M. Fine lens, just WAAY too big outfit to tote around for me.
