True story: Bought a new 35 1.4 ASPH delivered 12/24/96. Looked fine at first glance. Shot five rolls OK. Last night, preparing for a large project which starts Monday, closely inspected lens. There is a huge piece of lint dead center of the lens just behind the aperture blades, INSIDE THE LENS!! Also a smaller spec, seemingly on the same surface, off to the side. Cripes!! Anyone have any suggestions where I should FedEx this to Tuesday AM to have the dust removed - rapidly and reliably? NJ? Cost is not a concern, quality is. On the heels of my M6 purchase, also delivered on Christmas Eve with a broken LED/meter (and my best guess as to what was really wrong with the M6 owned by the guy shooting in the dark disco) that was returned to the dealer after a single day, something may be really wrong in Solms after all. Sad, eh? Or is it just me? Regards, David W. Almy
