[Leica] The 50mm Summicron asph

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

No doubt it will sell, it will be "interesting" if they drop the non-asph 
version.... Interesting (to me) that the promo shots of the M monochrom are 
the 50mm Summilux asph (like usual) and the LUF video is the 35mm Summilux 
asph.

The price (for those stunning performance numbers) is horrendous. I bet
they sell as many as they can make.
Try not to think of using one with the next generation M sensor.
I'm thinking of proposing marriage to Peter Karbe.
