I agree that this seems an obvious product introduction at Photokina, since it was already released as part of the 100 Edition M set in May.

Hi David – Have you had a chance to try to the 28 Lux?

Roger,
Have no fear. According to both Jesko and Peter Karbe, the 28 Lux is coming. They just need to build tooling. I’d expect to see this lens in the coming months.

I am anxiously awaiting the release of the 28 Summilux – I have shot with a 28/2 ASPH for 10+ years and look forward to seeing this new wonder lens.
The 28/2 currently sells for $4300 USD so I am expecting the 28/1.4 to sell for probably $6500 USD. 🙁
Does anyone know what the thread (filter) size on the 28 Summilux is? I have looked at several online articles about the lens and cannot find that information…
