Sorry, just couldn't resist. To keep this on topic, I'd like to ask a question of 19f2.8(w/turret) owners regarding build quality. I recently bought one used and noticed two screws were loose in the hood (the other 2 are now missing)--do these fall out easily? Also, the front-most ring of the lens has 4 holes--should there be screws there as well? I treat my gear fairly roughly, so it may have been bounced around a bit, but I wondered if this was a common occurence with this lens or other modern R lenses. Can I bug Leica for some small screws or will I have to send the lens in (cha-ching) to have them added back? Just got back the first slides shot with this lens and they show great contrast, plus the distortion is much lower than I exected! Thanks for any input... Chris Hoover
