[Leica] Any Know production problems with 50 Summilux ASPH?

[rhaightjr at yahoo.com (Bob Haight)]

Mine would underfocus at infinity which was
immediately corrected by Leica. If yours does the same
the same your wide open shots will not be tack sharp.
Stopping down, in the meantime, should eliminate the
problem. Bob H.
