Subject: [Leica] rare lenses

i happened to stumble across this page:

http://www.leicagallery.com/rarityratingslenses.htm

and it rates the telyt 400/560 for M as "common" or "fairly common"
which i have to disagree with.  doug herr does absolutely amazing
things with those lenses, so i've always kept an eye out for them.
i can't remember every seeing a complete one for sale, except on
ebay.

furthermore, the V65 is also "common" or "fairly common" and
you don't see that many of these either, particularly the black ones.

in contrast, it rates the 280/f4.8 as "rare" and these appear to
be fairly common to me.
