To each his own, Gene. My opinion is that Leica has been renowned for
the incredible mechanical quality of its lenses, a quality far and above
that of any other modern manufacturer. I find it troubling that when
bringing out a two-thousand, five-hundred dollar update of a 50 mm
'standard' lens - a standard lens costing at least four to five times
what other manufacturers charge for their version of the standard lens -
they would have any mechanical problems. But that's simply my opinion

One lens does not make for slipping quality control.  Just a minor
glitch. Which by the way all companies suffer from this.

I don't recall hearing of any problems with the current 50 'lux R.
