Hey People!!

I keep hearing the problem with my lens as proving, or at least hinting 
darkly, that the design of the 50 Summilux-Asph must be flawed. Horse 
pucky!! Mine is the only lens I have heard that has had problems and I 
have read about almost ten others by now. Can't we treat mine as an 
unfortunate anomaly until proven otherwise? I think next time I'll keep 
my big mouth shut until a problem is resolved!

PS: You can't seriously think that Tom wouldn't comment on an annoying 
sticky focus movement!!!
