I believe I recently saw an add in rec.photo.marketplace; asking 
price over $16000....
I guess this price only makes it a *very* rare species....

BTW, since these Hologons are all rectangular lenses....I wonder if there 
have ever been fisheyes for Leica M, or other rangefinders? 
Since a few years, I am hooked on IR photography, and my SLR fisheye is 
one of my favorites....but this SLR limits me to dark red filters, real IR 
filters (87 and darker) are difficult to operate (rearfilters cq. too 
large front size). I would therefore love to add an rangefinder fisheye to my 
collection....:-)
Any thoughts?
