Can I ask which arrangement members prefer, and why? Also, is it possible to have the factory or someone else (I am in the UK) convert a lens from one focus type to the other. My 35mm Summilux-M aspheric is of the second type and so has the focus lever but no knurled ring. Its predecessor had a knurled ring (possibly also a lever - can anyone advise?) I would like to have the knurled ring if possible.
