And yesterday was the first day I really got to put it to the test. Not only did Leica fix the thing that was broken, the tripod collar was loose, but they also fixed the one criticism I had of this lens!!!! And am I ever happy! It used to be if I pointed it anywhere close to the sun I got some major veiling glare at focal lengths longer than about 135mm. But now, I can point it straight at the sun or anywhere close and there is just about no veiling glare at all. A tiny bit at one single angle from the sun, but move just a tad, and it's gone! Now I have no criticisms of this lens at all, other than weight and size. Those I'm happy to live with for the performance I get out of this lens. Amazing is an understatement!
