I spoke to the salesman at Tamarkin NY, and full credit to that dealer for excellent service. (I bought my camera and lens from Tamarkin precisely because I have seen excellent references on this list attesting to their service--now I've seen it for myself.) It is a mechanical defect, one that is not uncommon apparently in the older generations of summicron-m 50s, although not one that affects the reliability of the lens in any way, I am assured. Nevertheless, I will return it to Leica for fixing (of course, sensible boy that I am, I had already sent off the warranty card, so the shop could not do a simple swap of another new lens). Tamarkin offered to send me a loaner lens as temporary replacement. Great service, as I said. Patrick Snook
