Version 2 has a built in square hood and 55mm filter size.
Very hard to find.
Not that hard. I've had an WTB post in the last weeks and almost got one for $1500. Didn't feel comfortable with the seller and gave up until last week when another one showed up for $1400. I bought it and love it. There are two on eBay right now above $2k. In the last two months I've seen them going there for $1800-2000. Just keep an eye on B&S forum!

Some leica lenses are underrated, e.g 35/2.8 III, 90/2.8 II, 180/4, and 350/4.8. I own the first 2, and quite happy with them.
Good list, phuang3. I'd add the 100/4 Macro and 280/2.8 to that list. Completely overshadowed by their younger siblings of the same focal length, but both very capable in their own right.

i have a terrible time downsizing photos of these guys. their feathers are so fine and close together they either look like a blurry mess or are full of moir and stairsteps (or both like in this case).
