     This sounds familiar.  It was the aperture ring on a (used) 35 1.4 
     ASPh that started the current thread on Leica quality control and 
     durability.

     I've just picked up a new 35 Summilux-M ASPH.  I notice that there is 
     a
     very small amount of play in the aperture ring.  Is this normal, or 
     should
     I expect it to be stiffer, without any play at all.  It clicks in 
     nicely at
     every stop and half stop positions, and turns smoothly allowing 
     settings in
     between, but it rocks ever so slightly back and forth.  Has anyone
     experienced anything similar?>>
