Just got my R8 today. Bought the body new, but got a used 35f2 R. Could =
someone tell me if the lens barrel should be a little bit loose? Slide =
the hood up and grab the barrel and give a slight twist. The barrel on =
my lens will move just a little bit! I grabbed my 35f1.4L EOS Canon lens =
and it was solid! So were several other lenses. I have to know if I =
should send it back to Tamarkin. Any thoughts on using a R lens instead =
of a ROM lens on the R8?

I HAVENO PLANS OF COVERING THE RED LEICA LOGO!!!!
