In the new Leica sales catalogue, it is said: Q1 for the 35-70/2.8 R End of 98 for the Apo 90 ASPH M and Apo 135 M So now there seem to be again manufacturing problems with a lens. It like d=E9j=E0 vu all over again - remember the huge problems with the manufacturing of the he first six months? And the ongoing saga of the R8 motordrive? A pity for such a brand like Leica! I really love their gear, but all I can hear from most people around me is that I am crazy... Maybe they're wright after all?
