I've always wondered how a 28 Leica can be off by so much .
What has changed in it ? It must have been desassembled ,
and wrongly reassembled , cause the rear ring , contacting 
the body roller , cannot be worn so much .
But I'd rather send Leica stuff for 6 months instead of using 
it knowing it is so much faulty .
