I'd be surprised if Leica didn't have one at the Kennebunkport 
affair. You'll probably get enough time with it to run a roll through 
using the ASPH and the Summicron side by side.

Me--I'd love to do a comparison of the f/4/280 mm APO-Telyt-R vs the 
f/2.8/280 mm APO-Telyt-R at equivilent f stops. To me the closer 
focusing ability of the f/4 would mean more than the extra f stop, 
other things being equal.
