Only 180 will be produced. Apparently, Miyazaki san designs and makes the
lens himself. Since the beans were spilled on RFF a couple weeks ago,
boatload of Leicaphiles went to order the lens and now it is in backorder.

I probably won't get one myself. At one point, I owned 3, count them, 3,
50mm M lens but I always went for the same one. That's when I realized that
there is no point for me to own more than one lens of a particular focal
length (*).
