Lucien,
I contacted the new editor of Leica Fotografie regarding this lens, he 
seemed most interested, in that they were planning a Hologon article and 
later a Super Heliar feature, I'm hoping we shall see some printed report 
of it's abilities soon. It was announced a year or so ago I believe but the 
pricing information is something that I've not seen so far.

The Panomigon is a modern ultra wide angle 15mm lens, conceived by CAD
using powerful calculation software.
Perfectly corrected, it is nearly devoid of distortion : the lines of
the subject remain straight, despite a record image angle of 110? and a
geometrical aperture of f11.
