I've had the 3.4/135 APO-Telyt for a year and a half, and love it. And my aperture ring is 'just right', neither too tight nor too loose. And why were you rubbing the outside of the lens against your clothing? Is this a religious ritual, or some tribal totemism? And did you really mean to suggest that the authorities actually allow "animals to approach the vehicles with the M-3"? Pretty damn sophisticated wildlife you guys have out there!
