This is why every lens I get is tested and if necessary returned or
tuned before I seriously use it.  There are lots of weird things I've
seen since I started working with cameras that don't show up in
routine shooting that can really ruin the one-in-a-thousand shot that
I really want.  And since I still mostly use Leica Ms, I regard
regular mechanical attention necessary to capitalise on that good
glass.  The M (Typ 240) may ameliorate that, depending on how well the
live view focusing works.
