[Leica] FS: 50 Summilux M Asph

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

John,

Perhaps it's a lubrication problem--why not have JVS or Leica adjust it for
you?  Considering your investment in the lens, it's the least you should
expect.

The optical performance is exemplary, quite stunning really. It is  
the ever so slight tightness in the close range focusing that drives  
me batty. I notice it every time I use the lens, something which  
cannot be said of any other M lens I own. I like my equipment to  
disappear and not get in the way of what I am doing. I was starting  
to dread having to use the lens, and I like the 50mm point of view. I  
have used the last version of the non-Asph Summilux with no  
complaints. I can live with a little softer wide-open rendition.
