[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I received my new M6 on Thursday and developed the first roll of Tri-X today. I am happy with what I see through the loupe. However, today the Summicron started chirping ... like a bird when I adjust the f stop ... especially around 5.6. Strange but true: this lens squeaks. I was told by the dealer I bought if from that I would have to send it into Leica because I had already sent the warranty cards in. This is disappointing because I would have much rather get a direct exchange from the dealer. Thus, two questions: Have any of you ever "heard" of a chiping Leica lens? Must be a lack of lubrication? Arrgh! And despite the fact that I had so "diligently" sent in the warranty cards for the lens and body, do you think it possible to get an exchange directly from the dealer or am I now relegated to dealing direclty with Leica... and then having a long wait for the return of my only Leica lens? Still , I am enjoying the M6 and 50 MM focal length. Thanks. /matt kollasch
