I'd say that the fact that its very collectable being that they made very
few of them with great difficulty and expense is very bad news for shooters.
very bad news for Leica Users.
The results obtainable with this marvel are exquisite.
A true marvel of optical engineering way ahead of its time.
I'd hate to see one taken out of the shooting area and put on some
collectors glassed in shelf.

I'm going to cross my fingers and hopes the guy shoots pictures with it.
OUTSIDE even.
