Subject: [Leica] PAW (kollasch) | chirping lens now silenced

My 50mm Summicron was returned by Leica 3 weeks to the day I posted if
from Iowa.  It is as if I have a completely different lens. The aperture
ring works wonderfully and silently.  This new lens began
chirping/squeaking 2 days after the purchase.   Thanks to my dealer who
called Leica to exhort them to prioritize the service, thanks to Leica
for doing that... and thanks to a fellow LUGer who so generously lent me
50 Summicron whilst mine was in New Jersey.

My latest PAW, shot with the 50 Summicron can be viewed at:

This shot is from a local skateboard park where teens defy gravity . . .

Comments welcome.  /matt
