He told me that Leica has about 5-6 years back order on this lens. Guess he was not joking. 5-6 years back order? Perhaps, if all the orders are prepaid, Leica can afford to build another wing to the existing factory just to build this lens. Total allocation of 17 pieces for the fiscal year? How long is Leica fiscal year? Two weeks of a calendar year? It can't be as long as a calendar year if they can only produce and fill 17 back-ordered items a year. There is something rotten in Solm.
