Has anyone seen that new far focus test on Reid's site? The Lux 28 is phenomenal. I'm saving up for if and when they decide to release this thing.

I hope so too. Should be closer to Lux 35 price than Lux 24/21's. Anyone here is going to pre-order this lens?Yowzers, that's a sexy lens!
Are we going to play the retail guessing game now?
I'll say $6250 USD.. Not sure if that includes or does not include the 12%
As for pre-orders. It really depends on the price. If it's similar to the FLE price, or the same price. I'd seriously consider. If it's closer to the 21/24lux pricing, I'd give it a skip. 28 isn't a focal length I use often enough to justify the high price.I hope so too. Should be closer to Lux 35 price than Lux 24/21's.

Haha... I said it's a sexy lens, looks wise. I never said I liked the images it producesI guess I am the odd man out but these shots are just ok. I would have like to have seen more dynamic subject matter and much, much more layered and nuanced light.
Ditto to what Adam said. I do not buy an a lens because its exclusive or 1 of X units made. I've owned the 21 Lux and all the 35 Lux's (barring the ASPHERICAL). There are some trade offs with Leica's newest lenses - they offer great sharpness, but at the direct expense of bokeh. I'll toss the 50 Noc ASPH in that lot as well.I guess I am the odd man out but these shots are just ok.

That's the one Vivek . . . only I seem to have gone wrong somewhere as I had to pay for mineJohn, There are options. You can start your own blog and start "testing" to get free test samples. You will continue to get the next ones as long as you hail even an atrociously priced POS as a "great concept".
Well, whilst I agree, it might be working for them if they're selling them.Leica's strategy of keep raising the prices every six months is way past its ceiling. It isn't working.
