Isaac,
The 43mm lens certainly wasn't for viewign at photokina, in fact the
personnel on the stand denied emphatically that such a lens would ever be
made by Pentax, but they were German, rather than Japanese employees.
There is a picture on their (Japanese) website for you to compare the two
lenses.

I apologize is these things have been asked before, but bear with me... Has
anyone seen or gotton their hands on the new Pentax LTM lens? I'm
intrigued... is there any difference between it and the regular production
43mm lens?
Another thing... is the "new" Leica 0 designed (and priced) as a user
or
is it another amazingly priced collectible? It'd be kinda cool to have
something like that... If only they'd make a new IIIf RD ST! Is the lens on
the "0" a new design or an old one? Would a new version of the old design
be
any better than the original? Thanx for any info...
Isaac
