Couldn't find it...looked through all the Leica R. Though I did find a Gold Protoype 90 f/2.8 (gold barrel...looks cool!)

I thought 10,000 euro for a current Notilux-M 50/1 is crazy, but this thing is even more evil. 30,000 euro! It is really a museum piece.

Wow, what a price tag. Anybody up for it? It is probably possible to have it auctioned out at Sothebys for an even higher price later on 
Some camera museum should get this.

Just curious, anyone know why it did not go into production? Looks like it could have been a winner. I don't think price ever held Leica back.....

Mostly due to the special material. Some glasses may have great characteristics for optics, but they are either too brittle or hard to mold into aspherics.
