Well actually I believe its a Ziess design ( I'm not sure if Ziess actually
make them for leica, though ), so your other option is to purcase the Contax
version for only 2/3 the price. I guess the extra cost is the "magic" they
add to give the lenses the "leica look" ;)

PS I don't disagree about how usefull this lens is, I'm just smiling to
myself about the brand loyalty on this list :)
PPS I don't own any lieca equipment, but do intend to in the future.
