It seems wonderful that they can service a lens to remove flare, can you share with us how they did it? Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Eric Welch [SMTP:ewelch@ponyexpress.net] Not only did Leica fix the thing that was broken, the tripod collar was loose, but they also fixed the one criticism I had of this lens!!!! And am I ever happy! It used to be if I pointed it anywhere close to the sun I got some major veiling glare at focal lengths longer than about 135mm. But now, I can point it straight at the sun or anywhere close and there is just about no veiling glare at all. A tiny bit at one single angle from the sun, but move just a tad, and it's gone!
