Believe it or not, the rear glass had some peckles and the lens has been exchanged by the factory. Glad to have the new one, perfect, but it is astonishing as quality control. The most humble japanese brand sacks out this kind of misproduction. One another fact : I baught last year a 35 Summilux asphero Mk II used but as new. Ten months after, the blades of diaphragm were exhibiting OIL. I never ever kept it in hot place. Nice quality control again ... This does'nt alter in anyway my love for Leica touch and smoothness.
