He already has http://www.imx.nl/photo/leica/apo-summicron-m-250-mm-asph.html

Some people have this lens and are comparing it to the new Nikon 58mm f1.4, 
main thing seems to be what is the market? People who want that sharp/well 
corrected a lens are unlikely to shoot wide open.... Of course it will cope 
with larger MP counts if/when that happens ;-)

Distagon eh? No wonder it's 2x the weight of the Leica 50'lux ASPH. Someone
should do a comparison. Puts may be at some point.

For the really perverted, someone could use this on the M 240 with an
adapter end EVF...
