I have often said that I have a set of lux (35/1.4 ASPH, 50/1.4 ASPH, 75/1.4) and 28/2 ASPH. I said it's not worth it to buy Leica lens new, in 2012. I bought all of them earlier. If I were to buy Leica lens now. I will buy them used. My last Leica lens is the 28/2 ASPH. I have never paid more than $3000 for a Leica lens, and most of them much less. Every single one of them get used. I sell lens that I don't used. This has included 90/2AA, Noctilux, 50/2'cron and the Tri-Elmar.
