I have been using this lens for some months now, and I can report that there
are no quality problems in evidence.  The only thing that bothers me about
it is if you squeeze the focus ring too hard, it becomes hard to turn.  I've
never experienced this with any other Leica lens.

	Tom,

	Can you elaborate on the Leica production issue of the 90 APO?
	I placed an order without being aware of any quality issue.
	I assumed that you talked about the new 90mm/f2 Summicron-M APO.

	Regards,

	Pitak
