There is a faint out of focus fizzy line passing through the rangefinder spot visible at close distances. I have never noticed it before. It certainly has no effect on the ability to focus the lens. My advice is to simply ignore it. But yes, technically you are correct, there is a small, minor intersection with part of the lens hood #12539 with the rangefinder spot, and so I apologise to you for implying that you are "spreading rumours". But it is not as severe a problem as your original post implied. But thanks for pointing it out to me, forever more I will be seeing it whenever I use that lens. ;-) Dan C.
