Mostly older/discontinued lenses:

16mm fisheye (Leica still has these in stock AFAIK)
24mm Elmarit-R (early version made by Minolta, current version made by Leica
from Minolta design)
35-70 f/3.5 (discontinued, early version made by Minolta, late version
assembled by Leica with Minolta optical cell)
80-200 f/4.5 (discontinued)
75-200 f/4.5 (discontinued)
70-210 f/4 (discontinued)
500mm Mirror lens (discontinued)

Not that I'm aware of.
