This has happened with M4's, M5's, M4-2's and M6's. I've had 1 bad lens out of the box (out of about 30), due to sloppy assembly which was fixable. Fortunately, once fixed the pieces usually worked well with reasonable CLA. * Henning J. Wulff /|\ Wulff Photography & Design /###\ mailto:henningw@archiphoto.com |[ ]| http://www.archiphoto.com
