[Leica] SL Lens Jammed

[Jim Nichols]

Tina,
I don't know what kind of internet service you are encountering.  If it 
is worthwhile, to show you why you should put your lens away until it 
can be serviced BY LEICA, here is a article showing the disassembly of 
that lens.  It is extremely complex, though very well made.
