But, Leica, NJ really needs to make BIG improvements in their repair facility. For them to send a lens off to Germany for a simple thing like tightning an aperture ring is pretty unreal. You would think they could understand that the USA is one of their biggest (if not biggest) markets and deserves a first class repair facility. Think about buying another TriElmar, then sell yours when it comes back. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
