Some stuff the only way to get it right is have it gone though by the repair people. They'll never get it right the first time. Not the QC from Leica at this point for a long shot we hope. A few months ago After a week i brought back a 120 CFi to Camera world for an exchange and BOY did i feel better afterward. Better than when i got my drivers license! It had a speck in it and was a little hard to turn. For those kind of bucks they can leave their specks in Sweden or Germany where ever the heck. To me my short telephoto is my bread and butter glass. I don't like taking peoples money with compromised glass or gear. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
