I have one of those Henning ... still in the original box. Part number 
13352.

Kind of worthless. the "glass" or plastic or whatever they used 
separates. Leica has made quite a lot of shoddy stuff when it comes 
right down to it.

It might still work though. I shouldn't be too critical until I check 
and see if the separation affects the image. If it doesn't it kind of 
nullfies the argument that you have to have top quality stuff on a Leica 
lens.
