 From what basis are you making this statement? Obviously every company has 
design flaws or QC issues (MP has a gap for dust to enter), but by all 
accounts, Hexar RF tends to get out of vertical alignment, CV lens tend to 
de-center (there are a number of such reports on the 40/1.4 on photo.net) 
and I have gone through FOUR Epson R-D1s.
