Wiki thinks it was a Zeiss design.
" Leica R lenses
Leica 15mm f/3.5 Super-Elmar-R ? 1980 (Carl Zeiss design)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_Camera

Which makes one assume they had a hand in it like they did the Hologon.
But it could be a mistake. As it seems very few lenes out there are NOT
patterned on a Zeiss design from the beginning. But are just tweaked a bit
and given a new name.
