Which is unlike most of the companies.  In my pre-Leica days, I became
frustrated returning lenses that focused at different places for the
different edges of the field.  I have a mountain ridge at "infinity" and
clear air where I live.  The poor assembly of the middle market optics was
very obvious and frustrating.  We do get something for those prices we pay.
