    So here we are in late March and in the US the availability of the 35/1.4 FLE II appears to be nil. I know production was stopped last fall to correct the aperture blade issue and restarted in December. Now I've only seen it in stock at AGF Camera in Hong Kong. Also, I've seen an example of a used mint silver FLE II for sale on Fred Miranda that was purchased in London. But that's it. Tests and reactions to the FLE II are all positive, I wonder if we are going to have another long term shortage issue like with the 35/2.0-M APO?

    Have you pre-ordered from a Leica store?

    Similar story here for the 28mm SL. My dealer had no more left, now I have to wait for about three months. This could be some kind of more generic supply chain issue that is affecting the company.

    I have an order in at B&H for a black model FLE II. I'm not in a rush and they pay my sales tax, which at 9.5% is quite a bit.
