So I believe you may have a point. Tom Henson << Speaking of higher production tolerances, would it be smarter to send newer lenses to Leica for service, since they have the proper gear to center and align everything? Some of the tolerances that Puts describes in his books are pretty darn tight and I wonder if they can be achieved with out the specialized (read very expensive) gear that Leica has in their factories. I have had older lenses succesfully serviced by small shops, but I wonder if they are able to work at the level of precison that the new lenses requieres. feli >> - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
