21mm Summilux in HKG

[bluegt2]

I have spotted a supposedly legit new 21mm Summilux with UV/IR filter at a Hong Kong store. Does anyone have experience with Shopman 9days in Hong Kong? It seems strange that the 21 is available in Europe and Asia, but not yet in the US.

Has anyone other than Erwin Puts been able to compare the 21 and the 24 Summiluxes on their M8? I am wondering if the 24mm conveys a better sense of depth. (Not to knock Puts' invaluable contributions-- I am just trying to gather as much info as possible before spending $6k!)

appreciate any comments....

I know 9days in HK, they have a real shop, not only an eBay shop. The guy is very knowledgeable about leica stuff but he usually is a bit pricey!

The Summilux 21mm is now "widely" available in HK, I saw it in several shops already.

The 21m Summilux is a must have lens for the MP shooter.

thank you so much for the advice. I think he is negotiable in this economy.
