I thought this lens would move like hotcakes.....   for $1500 you get real
Leica Glass, in a desirable Fl.  Especially important when a used 28/2.8
Elmarit would cost you $1000, and a new 28/2 Summicron would cost $3200.  It
is priced right.

And when you take into account that the FOV of a 28mm on an M8 is the same
as a 35 on an M6, you have a big winner.

This particular lens shows the kind of right thinking that can make Leica a
really profitable company again.

Next... 50 Summicron ASPH for $1500.....
