At one time Zeiss was saying that the G1/G2 Hologon was hard to make and production was limited. Unless there is a 'surplus' of production I doubt that its likely they will make it in an M mount. Even then I would think that Leica would buy it from Zeiss and put it in a mount for the Leica. How about Leica putting the 15mm R lens in the M mount? Dennis - -- Experience is a tough teacher.
