徕卡向蔡司定制的传奇15mm/8镜头,号称世界顶级无畸变的超级广角,由于装配工艺过于复杂只生产了300来只。也有说是350只,实际可能是徕卡定了350只,实际交货300。目前存世很少,都是常见于拍卖会,基本在十万元级别。它的替代品就是康泰时修改了光学设计,给自家的contax g1、g2配的g16 mm f/8镜头。这枚镜头简化了组装工艺,使得可以低成本大量生产,尽管如此这枚g16也是最贵的g系镜头,全套带中灰镜的要过万元。
Carl Zeiss Hologon for Leica M, in beautiful, near-mint condition, clean optics, with matching finder, center filter, original brochure from 1974, rear cap and maker’s box with matching serial number (!), one of the best examples of this special lens we have seen
