I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what's the reasoning
behind the HUGE jump in price for the 50 Summicron ASPH. Went from
$2295 to $7195 because of those four little letters! Even the 50
Summilux ASPH is just $3995, so it's $3200 cheaper yet one full stop
faster! By rights it should be priced at $8000 or more if you follow
the logic. I don't get it. Wow.
