This is the official response I received from BandPro on the price and availability of the Leica cinema lenses:
“They will originally come in a set of 8 lenses and will begin delivering in the last quarter of 2010. The price for the set of 8 is $178,000 and Band Pro is currently accepting a refundable deposit of 10% to reserve a set of Leica lenses. The delivering lenses are 18mm, 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm.
We are fully booked with paid deposits for the planned deliveries through 2010. At the moment the lenses are only available as a full set and individual lens purchase is not planned for some time. From the response at NAB, we are expecting more deposits in the coming weeks.”
