I have purchased NEW in the last six months:

1) Leica M6 HM   - no problems
2) Leica R8 - no problems
3) Leica R8 winder - no problems
4) Leica 100mm APO - no problems
5) Leica 35-70mm f4.0 Vario-Zoom  - no problems
6) Leica 28mm M f2.8 lens - no problems
7) 50mm Summicron M f2.0 - no problems
8) 90mm M Elmarit f2.8 - no problems
9) 50mm Noctilux f1.0  - no problems

In all honesty I don't look for dust here and there and maybe there is a speck somewhere between a lens surface. Since it doesn't affect performance I don't really care. There are no bubbles or other more serious defects.
