B&H currently has a black and silver Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH lens in stock.

After the shortage of Leica lenses before the price increase, the shipment of M glass has definitely improved over the past few weeks. I just noticed today that my local dealer even has the new 35mm Summilux in stock plus the 21mm/1.4 (B stock), 24mm/3.8, 90mm/2.5 lenses (no online ordering, call them at 561 253-2606).
