Unfortunately back in those days a 20mm was considered an
ultra-wideangle lens and they did not sell in large quantities, so I
would imagine the price is held up buy the comparative rarity. They were
considered pretty good lenses in their day however. I have always wanted
one myself, but have never found one in the price range I could afford
(that should not apply to anyone who is earning a living wage however).

The other day I had the chance to use Gianfranco's M20/4 on the istD,
and liked it a lot. It's small and handles well, and it seems like I
could put up with the slowness. I do have the FA16/45 which is also
f4, but shooting with a compact rig has advantages sometimes.
How hard is this lens to find? Anyone has comments on it? (not much on
it on Stan's page)
Anyone has one for sale? :)
Thanks,
