Im also keen to try this lens and will order the titanium version for something different. I prefer the look of the non knurling option but when I owned the Leica APO 35mm, I found the knurling to be useful when close focusing. With 0.3m minimum focus, the throw is long, and just using the tab for small adjustments when its so high up on the lens is a bit awkward. Im undecided which way to go.
Just fyi BH Photo is now offering pre-orders for this lens and the 35mm 8 elements.
Course you don't get Fred's discount and you do pay tax. But if you're worried about tariffs and want easy free 30 day returns BH is good.
I myself already ordered the titanium smooth version ot the apo one at LLL.

The last lens I purchased from LLL (20 days ago) was the LLL 50/1.5 Z21, and there was no tariff when purchasing directly from LLL's website. I ordered it and it arrived with no extra payment of any kind.
Dummy Question: Do they charge you the full amount for the pre-order up front?
Glad to hear there has been no previous tariff fees, any other duty import fees? Just had a surprise $149 import fee for an LLL lens I bought from a dealer in the UK. Lammmmmmeeee.

Thanks for the information. I ordered 35/1.4 and 35/2 APO from LLL with FREDMIRANDA code.
May I know which shipping you choose? Any difference?
