Just arrived from the Fieldgrass & Gale in the UK this morning.  Under 
$500USD all-inclusive (compared to $850 quoted by a US source).  Can't wait 
to try it out.  It's unbelievably light and compact.  If it shoots as good as 
it looks, I will probably take it on my European trip, along with the 28, 50 
and 90, and leave the 21 ASPH and 35 ASPH home.  In fact a part of me would 
like to sell that 21 ASPH altogether and revert back to the SA 3.4.  The 21 
is just so monstrous especially with the shade.  Considering I've never sold 
a Leica M lens before, it's a long-shot though.  I'll report on my results 
with the 15mm as soon as I have some slides to view.
