Kevin,
I think I submitted the order form but I’ve been so busy I cannot remember if I sent it or not. If you get a minute let me know you got it. Thanks! Very excited

Oh, it's fantastic project!
But for me, it's too bad to know too late.
Is there any chance to participate?

Lucky #1! Santa delivered this year.

Was the yellow and red engraving paint a custom request?

........perfect match for older M2/3/4 black paint: 😱 ......rather than the shiny MP, MP-6 models

For your reference, the black paint is very close to the Leica M240 black paint.

No worries, if you are on the early buying list I will make sure you can get your lens. I will check it for you later.

I don't shoot digital but I'm sure it will look great on my film Leicas. Congratulations on the project

Amazing! I have filled up the form sometime back. Hope to hear from you soon!

I don't mind waiting, plenty of other lenses to keep me busy, but I want to make sure I'm not missing the payment information. I filled out the Google form a while back but never sent any money. I'm assuming an email will show up in my inbox at some point requesting the funds.

Kevin- it would be helpful if you made an announcement on RFF when the payment emails have been sent out, just in case it gets hidden by the junk mail filters or burried under other messages.

I have also once asked Kevin about sending payment, but he assured us to be patient about it.

Kevin

yes, that's it: the yellow and red paint on the front ring engraving. were those colors a custom request? is the default color white?

Thanks for introducing this lens Kevin, it's the best lens that is so close to the original type 8 element, even better than the weak ones of those 8 element.

I have two 8 element, surely I will order this one made in China.
