Doesn't look like anyone posted this yet, so I will put it up. Looks like the Leica engineers are not phased by any request:

SORRY, I just noticed the blazing yellow warning sign indicating that this is probably not the place for this. Moderator, move or delete it you want!

Over two million for and R mount lens! I wonder what the M mount version will go for!

It's a little slow at f5.6 ... then again the light's pretty good in Qatar most of the time I guess! 😀

I thought that the: ZEISS Apo Sonnar T* 4/1700 was tops -but I can't find a value!?!?!

Oops... I see now that the Zeiss is mentioned in the article! 😱

I like to have 2 "R" bodies hanging from my neck, so that this lens need never be removed. I therefore have permanent, fast access to my two most widely used focal lengths: 1,600mm and 35mm.
