Well I did wait until they were broke first! My point is if you are buying
used make sure you budget for a CLA just in case it is needed. If you are
happy with the lens' performance why fix it? So far my 35/1.4asph (purchased
used) is performing flawlessly and I do not intend to CLA it. I bought the
Hektor used and cheap and figured it might need work so I was not surprised
that much.
