He said, 'Don't worry about that. It's the only one you can see, here have a look at all the others.' Last week I took my trusty 5cm DR Summicron to a "Leica Clinic" at the local dealer. I'd read all the horror stories about lenses getting hazy or fogged, and had shone a torch through mine, and indeed it was a bit hazy in here. The Leica technician peered through it. "That shouldn't be causing you any problems", says he. "But we should be able to reduce that mechanical play in the mount" (which I hadn't noticed!). Regards, Doug Richardson
