It's getting a little scary. KEH has two version 2 (no built in hood)  
for $5799 in Ex+ condition. I'm seeing ads for new lenses selling for  
up to $9000 at various sites. I just got mine back from DAG for focus  
calibration. It now focuses perfectly on both my M8's. And that's  
with factory aligned rangefinders on the M8's. I'm using mine and  
don't plan on hiding it away. And it's mint and only 2 years old.  
Price to align it, $90 and worth every penny. Don does great work.
