That should not be a difficult concept to accept. I say this as a Nikon owner: I *only* own a few AF lenses, and only those with metal barrels and internal focussing. Most of my Nikkors are the manual versions. Even they are not as solid and precise as Leica R lenses unless periodically re-lubed to compensate for wear. With hard use Nikon lenses wear out; I have never seen even a beaten-up Leica lens whose helicoid was loose and sloppy.
