This is a complaint I have with some of my Leica lenses. Some of my lenses have nice firm aperture stops, and some feel like a breeze could change the aperture. I don't like that inconsistency between lenses. I do not believe it is 'correct' for them to be 'loose', but, for the most part, I can live with it. 75/1.4 Summilux - very good 50/2.8 Elmar collapsible - good 50/1.4 Summilux - loose 35/1.4 Summilux ASPH - loose 24/2.8 Elmarit ASPH - good - -----------------------------
