the last I heard, CV discontinued production on the current 28/1.9 Ultron, and rumors immediately started flying that an M-mount version was being designed
any further development on this? I'm looking for a fairly fast 28mm, and while I wouldn't have a problem with the LTM version, I'd prefer a new M-mount (assuming price is competitive)

What puzzles me Brett is that they normally announce the replacement before discontinuing the old lens, this time they haven't!
I already have the lens and can truely recommend it, it is quite superb.

Not necessarily the CV way. They discontinued the LTM 25 without announcing a replacement.
With the list of lenses they have recently discontinued, they are either in an upgrade mode, or going out of business.
I don't think they are going out of business.

they *must* be coming up with a replacement - it's a fantastic lens (i love mine in combination with the nokton 40 1.4), and so affordable.
its size is the only drawback, and i will be in a bit of a dilemma if they somehow make an M mount one that's as bright (f2 is fine too) but smaller.

That's surprising. They must be selling that lens by the boat load to M8 owners, who can't afford the 2/28 Summicron-ASPH or can't get their hands on the new 2.8/28 ASPH.
But then again it would make a lot of sense to release an M-mount version of it...

I don't care how big it is. I don't own it, but my friend, desertshooter, does, and I borrow it from time to time. I want one.

Here's some fuel for any conspiracy theory fans out there-
Maybe Brand L has offered a large figure to stop producing reasonably priced, excellent quality competition.
Oooh, creepy!

yeah. not enough difference in size to take the hood off. just wish it were easier to tell that i have it on straight. cos i take it off to change filters.
