Horst, I object to you continuously insulting the look and the quality of my
Leica lenses.
My Summitar not only looks good, but also is a joy to use.
Freely and accurately moving diaphragm (result of one night with Teflon grease),
focus ring, working without wobble I noticed on 2.8/90 Elmarit I saw in Warsaw,
extremely useful focusing tab (move it to the camera bottom - lens is set
to Usual Streetshooting Distance, no need to look at scale..., infinity lock,
so much useful in many photographical situations...
Elmar 4/90 coated - the same. After disassembly and cleaning, works perfectly
and is easier to use than Elmarit 2.8/90, as a both lighter (if a
one stop slower) and easier to focus (large Grasp Area) lens. Again - no wobble,
freely and easily moving rings....
etc....
Just to cite you:

Look Horst, don't be such an expert on things you don't own.
Mi'y'a angry? mi'y'a aggressive? Niet! :-)
best wishes to all blind Leica A.G. defenders around the world! :-)
