Subject: [Leica] M-Rokkor 28 MM continuation
From: "Joe Stephens" <joe@atchou.com>

I really appreciate all the info on the M-Rokkor.

I was told that the brightlines would be those
of a 35MM lens.

Putting the lens on the camera, and looking
at the bightlines, it far more resembles the
28MM brighlines than the 35MM brightlines
as shown by this Leica-Camera URL:

l

Am I deceived or and there any comments?

However, I dusted the lens off with compressed
air, and I looked through the back of the lines.

It appears, however that there is some type of
"beading" (or sweating) (another guy in the office
described them as "bubbles" on the lens (I can
focus my eye a certain way to see it) that
is pretty consistent over
the lens's surface that is totally absent on my
new Summilux 1.4 50 MM.

Obviously this would negatively affect
image quality, correct?

Anything else bad to look for?  Or, maybe
I should just break down and buy a pristine
new lens.

Thanks for everyone's help
