whether or not the lug can do anything about this is academic (though i
think there's an argument that the lug _may_ be able to do something about
it in some oddball way -- (anybody who knows how to make a pipe bomb
please contact me off list)) after all, we have exactly the same ability
to change the optical quality of the lenses but no one has a fit when
someone posts how great the lenses did in a bench test -- the real point
here is that this is EXACTLY the place to post your positive and negative
stories about any piece of leica equipment -- this is the most on-topic
post we've had in months (except of course any post that i've made which
have not only been on topic, but thougtful, insiteful, and funny as well,
not to mention dotted with beautiful photographs) from anticdotal evidence
such as this we can discover whether this crappy lens was an anomolie or
the norm. these are exactly the types of posts i want to see on the lug.
(though people, please see if you can figure out how to infuse more nudity
into your informative posts.)
