Of course it's $2000 better, it says "Leitz Wetzlar" on it, doesn't it?

I don't know if you know this site:

But I found it really interesting... Sharp Leica lens on Pentax K?
Sounds
really promising to me :)
It is interesting, but I'm not sure I see any advantage. It's 68 Euros
for the adapter, which I understand permanently attaches to the lens
so it will fit the K-bayonent, so I could then do stopped down
metering with the lens mounted.
Looking at eBay for Leica R lenses as suggested, I found a Leica
Elmarit-R 24mm F/2.8 Lens for $1,199.00
... but I already have a Pentax 24mm F/2.8 SMC A lens that seems to me
to be excellent glass, AND it doesn't require stop down metering with
my K10D.
If I didn't have that lens, I could have it in two days from KEH EX+
for $325.
Ok, I'll grant Leica made a better lens, but is it $2000 better?
