I was thinking about this.....  a 35mm lens at F1.2 is only 1/3 of a stop
faster than a F1.4 lens......not a big deal.

I think the major issue, and why I answered as I did...... If you are at all
concerned about the lens, andthat concern "prevents you", "makes you
hesitate", or otherwise worded, AT ALL from using the lens, get rid of it.
Got get something you trust.

It is your business, your income, and your experience that you are
protecting.......it is NOT about the repair money at all......

Get a 35 ASPH Lux and never look back......  or a 35 pre-ASPH Lux and enjoy
the Bokeh.......for 1/3 of a stop, why hesitate?

Sell it on Ebay and buy another for your use......

Or go buy a Leica lens.... or was this something extra special?   ( 35 F1.2
or whatever?)

.  I'm just concerned that this may be an ongoing expense 
with this lens.  If not, and it was a manufacturing problem, I would 
think it should have been covered; but, I don't want to use this lens 
extensively and find out that it has to be reworked every six 
months.
