Subject: [Leica] Poor Leica QC

Some time ago, I bought a 35mm f/2 Summicron pre-ASPH, and I'm sorry to say,
I've been the victim of the poor QC that so many report on here.  This is a
Leica lens, supposedly the best in the world among camera marques, and yet,
when I take pictures with it, I'm lucky to get one or maybe two good shots
per roll of film.  The rest suck, they're just as bad as the ones I used to
get with the Konica Hexar, and in some cases, I got better pictures with my
Nikon F3 and 105mm lens.

I find it really disappointing that, after having spent so much money on
this lens, Leica couldn't do a better job of quality control.
