A new cutting edge asph design might be so horrendously expensive it would be impossible to buy. Zeiss currently has their Distagon 2.8 15 ZM (made in Germany) which costs MORE than say the Leica 2.8 21 or 24 asph. But not as much as the WATE and its finder. My view is that Leica is unlikely to invest in designing any more bleeding edge lenses currently. What about a moderate aperture compact 16. It would have to be f4 or 4.5 or so? Doesn't necessarily fit really well in the Summarit range, but a spherical design is certainly doable. That is my own fearless prediction, based entirely on speculation with no evidence.
