Mine's ok so far. But thanks for letting us know; I'll be very careful with 
it.

>My wife shows me a piece of plastic that she found on the car seat.
>It looks suspiciously like half of the half-moon finger tab of a
>35mm Summicron.  I had this lens out a few days ago.
>
>I go home, and sure enough, half the tab is still on the lens and
>the other half is in my hand.
>
>This piece is plastic, and it broke in half, right where the
>mounting screw is.
>
>I've replaced this part on another lens, a 50mm Elcan f2, where it
>was completely missing.
>
>I think this is an example of Leitz's choice of plastic, which may
>have been a great idea in the 80's, but now thirty years later, is
>turning out to be a terrible idea.
