[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks to the group I am getting a daily education in Leica and life. I have recently acquired an R7 and a used vario-elmar, made in Japan and with rotating front element. It appears in reasonably good shape and I will get the first chromes back today. I notice that there is some sideways play in the lens. I wiggles and if you hold the body tightly you can see a small image shift looking through the viewfinder. I'm going to use the lens for travel pics mostly and family pics. For other shooting I will use my M6. I don't have a new lens to compare it with - is this normal - or the result of a lot of use. It is probably EX+ and the serial number is #3321342, which look like it was manufactured in 1984. I'm within the return period if I have to send it back. Thanks
