The Summit ECP 1.70 was one of the most expensive lenses I looked at
(I bought through insurance). Expect to pay about 30% more compared to
Zeiss Gradal Top w/ Zeiss Carat AR. Don't let yourself be charged
extra for SuperHivision AR on the 1.70 - it's included in the price
from Hoya.  Definitely shop around.
