There are basically three options for dealing with it: a) Get your knickers in a twist, work up an ulcer, loose sleep, time, and possibly money by worrying weather it will affect your images -- conveniently forgetting that unless you shoot at the optimum aperture, on a tripod, critically focussed, in perfect lighting, on slow film, developed at the optimal contrast index, and perfectly printed, chances are it isn't going to make any visible difference; b) Send the thing back unless you're 100% happy with it for the price you paid and get a refund; c) Take pictures. Maybe I'm just dumb, but (b) or (c) seems a hell of a lot simpler to me. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
