I'm not sure but... isn't this the one that's not coupled with the camera's rangefinder? Or is it the CV 24mm?

Other than that, not much! :p

I don't believe that there has been a lot of talk about this lens here, but there are quite a few threads about it at photo.net in the Leica Forum. The comments I have read are generally favorable. This lens has been on my fingertips for a while, but I just can't get it in hand. This was supposed to be the week, but the car is in the shop and I won't have an estimate until tomorrow. Such is life.

As always, Syephen Gandy sells it cheaper (only $335) than the rest.
And he has a generous description of all the CV lenses here: http://www.cameraquest.com/inventor.htm .

Th 21/4 is RF coupled, the 25/4 isn't. The general consensus is that the 21/4 is very nifty lens and rather good, and about 1/8 the price of Leica's 21mm.
