I am merely curious as to whether foreign debris inside a Leica lens is as common as two dealers assure me it is. Remember I bought this lens knowing that it had specks on the lens. I do not wish to return it to Leica as the lens works fine as previously stated. To somehow deduce from my post that I am 'going off the handle' and 'are obviously in the throes of a "he dinged my new car!" frenzy, ' is quite extraordinary to say the least. My comment about Leica's QC is still a valid one I feel. Brilliant optical performance aside, one would expect for the amount of money that Leica products cost, a high standard of cosmetic, as well as mechanical excellence. This clearly is not always the case with some of their products. - ----- Original Message ----- From: <Summicron1@aol.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 3:24 AM Subject: [Leica] re: specks in new leica lens > If you intend to take pictures with it, then why not do so before going off > the handle, as so many on this list are wont to do? > But you are obviously in the throes of a "he dinged my new car!" frenzy, > which can drive you nuts.
