I can even see why one might rather not be obsessive with regards to microscopic imperfections (although Erwin's comments on the latest Leica lenses clearly point out the need for strict tolerances if their potential--hence, value--is to be realised). However, I can't reconcile how an individual can insist on only using Leica (or Zeiss) glass, pay the huge premium for it, deplore the use of a UV filter, yet accept a brand-new lens with a "huge bubble" in the front element.
