I think somehow you have missed entirely the gist of my original post. 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.
