Eric,

Ford also said the Edsel would become a favorite among car owners.  Today it
is a favorite among collectors. ;-)  ....Interesting.

But was it ever confirmed that was the first production run, or the only 
production run ever. The Leica system brochure claims it will become a 
favorite of R users. That doesn't sound like a limited production lens, 
like the first 35 Summilux Aspherical was, when they said from the start it 
was limited production in their literature.
