Cosina would know the Sony user group wanted a super sharp landscape oriented lens, whereas M users would be more interested in street and people photography.
There could be some truth about it. Basically, we Sony users need such a lens where exact manual focus is more helpful than autofocus or focus by wire. Furthermore, APO lenses are a very good choice for landscape and botanical subjects. For street and people we rather take autofocus lenses, an option that does not exist for Leica M users. Actually, I indeed have a few street and people photos taken with this lens, but I mainly use autofocus lenses for that purpose.
