Please, do us all a favor and check the archives for quality issues and
Leica gear.  You will find that:

  * Once every six months, someone buys Leica gear that needs
    servicing and raises the question of flawlessness vs. price.

  * Common sense dictates that errors will occur in ANY manufacturing
    line.  REGARDLESS of price and quality control measures.  Flaws
    ALWAYS manage to find their way through somehow.  It is a consequence
    of human activity and enthropy.

  * If you want to eliminate the risk of getting faulty equipment,
    don't buy any.

  * This is a dead horse.
