Yeah, too bad the Hexar isn't made up to the quality standards of my Leica
M6 TTL, less than one year old, that a) needs a vertical RF adjustment, b)
can't accurately close focus my new 75/1.4 summilux-M (consistently off by
2" in my tests), and c) has screwed up electronics that drive my SF 20 crazy
(it works fine on the Hexar though).  Or my Leica Universal Polarizer that's
six months old and falling apart.  Both will be spending time in NJ soon.
