I "heard" that due to US copyrights for "Super Six," they need to do a new "logo" for the "ZS6" lettering, which if true, might explain the delay.
FWIW, I received a message from LLL as follows:
" the ZS6*had been delayed due to the new clean room renovation, and the production of the low-contrast glass element of the ZS6* specifically had tolerance issues."

I'm a bit surprised to hear that. The Low Contrast copy I have, which came from regular production and was not hand picked, is perfectly rangefinder calibrated and well centered. My Light Lens Lab 50mm f/1.9 Rigid ZS6 is actually the one with a very slight amount of play in the focusing ring.
Thank you for the great review and sample photos. I am inclined to get the low contrast version of this lens. I hope to see a few more samples in situations where there are lots of light sources behind the subject, such as this one I took with the Canon 50mm f1.5 LTM. Let's say if shooting foliage in daylight the ZS6 renders quite similarly to the Canon 1.5 and I am hoping to spot enough differences as well
