Well, the focus ring seemed a bit out of round, which caused the focus to bind a bit at one point. Re-lubing helped considerably. Admittedly, the lens could have been the victim of rough handling or other damage from a previous owner. I was just wondering if the chrome versions were more robust. In fairness, I've never had a Leica component suffer irrepairable damage. It's tough stuff. Craig _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
