I sent back two 28 Elmarits before I got a good one way back then. My first R4 failed after two rolls of film. Dust, hair and bubbles appeared in some lenses. But the good ones were and are so wonderful. Some folks have said that the new lenses are relatively poorly made. That does not seem to be the case with the 35 1.4 Summilux and the 100 APO, the two new lenses that I bought last year. Also, Leica always repaired or replaced without question. I am still into Leica after more than 30 years. Bob Figlio
