Should we all email B&H to get our $50 back now, or should we pretend there was no error ... ?
I do not think we are going to get anything but an apology and a refund. I would not expect anything else.

I fully expect my order to be cancelled, but I'm going to let them take the initiative.

They could throw in refund and a B&H silver key chain

I'm sure if you complained hard enough, they'd accommodate that.

The B&H Keychain Flashlight (no silver, only plastic) costs $26.95. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to toss one your way for free.

The sample photos in this promo video seem more compelling than the ones in the linked flickr page above, at least to my eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClShwPWcBtQ&t=87s
The MTF chart in this link seem not too bad, at least for film resolution purposes: https://photorumors.com/2021/11/20/t...for-pre-order/
As to whether B and H has to honor prices in published ads, after speaking with three different attorneys, it seems the answer lies somewhere between “they are required by law to honor it”, and “they do not have to honor it”, as the law isn’t black and white on the issue partly because some of the relevant law varies from state to state, and something of a no man’s land of federal oversight as well. They probably should honor it, legally, but you’d have to go to court to dispute it if they didn’t. Where the outcome would be even less predictable.
It’s “the world”, so don’t expect Santa Claus, IOW.

B&H has refunded me now.

Sample photos look kind of humdrum in my opinion..the CV 28mm lens produces nicer results and is a bit faster too.
What is this about?

B&H just emailed everybody and told them that the $50 was for the viewfinder, their mistake, and they have refunded the money. The lens is........more.

Same here. Oh well. ...
They cancelled the order, which means if your card was charged a refund is forthcoming.

I watched video yesterday with digital and film examples. Very impressive, if they cold keep quality at regular, for us, level.
Another video I watched recently was from known street photog, traveler and MiC lenses they sent personally to him for review been total crap.

I prefer LTM + adapter. The 6-bit flange adapter can be coded to the closest Leica lens. I am not interested in removing a flange from the lens and replacing it with a 6-bit adapter drilled to replace the original flange. Painting is OK. Tiny screws are not.
