It's just too easy to end up with a lemon. Well, I've been buying and using SPS lenses and cameras for more than a decade and have had a failure rate of around 10%. The other 90% have worked well and the optical quality of the lenses is astonishingly good. I regularly use Russian glass on my M6. Cuique sua res, but it is dangerous to make a broad and general statement based solely upon our own experience.
