My opinion is that Leica has been renowned for the incredible mechanical quality of its lenses, a quality far and above that of any other modern manufacturer. I find it troubling that when bringing out a two-thousand, five-hundred dollar update of a 50 mm 'standard' lens - a standard lens costing at least four to five times what other manufacturers charge for their version of the standard lens - they would have any mechanical problems.
