I have had the lens to the Leica distributor and was told it would have to go to Solms - a visit to Germany of a minimum of several weeks and a cost of perhaps $200 - 300 to fix. That made me think perhaps the best course of action would be to sell the lens as others have done. This didn't feel right to me so I canvassed the local Leica lovers for a local repair shop and was sent by Ray T. (thank you Ray!) to Mr. Lo at Professional Camera Repair in Kowloon. In two days and for HK$500 (US$64) Mr. Lo adjusted the 'Cron to focus exactly on my M8. I picked the lens up today and it is a Happy Day! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/L9995688MrLocsBWw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/ck53gf This is the first picture taken with the adjusted lens on my M8. It is of the impressive Mr. Lo. And here a couple of wind blown hours later is a picture of me taken with the 90mm by Wendy, the manager of Miramar Camera, my favourite camera shop in Hong Kong. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/HCBWw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/c5smw4 C&C always welcome, Cheers Howard
