Hi John:
Yes, it's the Elmarit-R 2.8/16.
Here's a photo taken with it: http://hemenway.com/Hull-august/pages/08-FisheyeView.htm
I think my screw mount Pentax fisheye is equal to it... well, maybe even a little sharper.

Would that be the 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye by any chance?

I have a Leica-R zoom made by Sigma, and a fisheye by Sigma. I don't know of any Leica reflex lenses manufactured by Cosina.

Sigma and MInolta also made some zoom lenses for Leitz, in the R (SLR) mount, sold under the Leica name, with Leica prices.
I believe they also made the 24mm for Leitz (later incarnation), I'm
surprised at the comment on the Carl Zeiss lens performance, the Sigma was
generally regarded as very good, even scored 4 at photodo, which is
remarkable for a 24mm w/a.
