I'd call them to complain and send it back for a redo. Looks like the cutter slipped in a couple of spots. I wonder if they've farmed the work out to some local shop and are not keeping a proper eye on them due to demand. I'll bet they have a lot of these to do right now. I'm supposed to get two lenses done free with my M8 order. Your experience makes me wonder if I should bother right now. Let us know what you decide to do. Thanks. >I got my 28/f2.8 Elmarit back from Leica today with the 6-bit code added. >I must say that to my eye it looks like rather shoddy work.
