Any help would be most appreciated... - -I bought a near NIB Summicron M APO 90mm/f2.0 from another user, less warranty, at a great price yesterday and the lens is cosmetically and optically perfect. But I have noticed that the focusing seems rather stiff, especially near infinity, very unlike my other Leica lenses. This is the first near-new lens I have had. Can anyone tell me if this is typical with a new lens and that it will improve with use or should I spend the money I saved getting it CLA'ed? - - I know the Leica M is the ultimate available light camera and hardly set up for flash like a SLR. Be that as it may, does anyone have comments on the SF-20 flash unit? Would a more versatile generic flash be a better choice? Thanks in advance, Rusty Chapman
