I sent it for a CLA because of this and it was returned (from Solms) with the contact strip and chip, smoother focusing but still lower contrast than a Canon. I was surprised, given the reputation. Leica said the lens was "to specification" The 280 f4 which Doug uses to such great effect is said to be the best tele lens ever.
