You are, of course, correct Doug. But if you were to be crazy enough to
waste time going further back in the thread you'd see that I did indeed
refer to the lens as an M lens.  But believe me, it's not worth the time
unless your time isn't worth much - and I know it is...worth much. ;-)

B.D., re-read your own words.  I have copied them here for your
convenience:

You did not specify the 50 'lux M.  You stated 50mm lens.  You
erroneously stated that Leica QC has slipped to the point where they
can't even release a 50mm lens without having problems - this is a
general statement about the company, not specifically referring to the
50 'lux M.

With, Doug - Look for John Collier's description of problems with his
new 50 Summilux, though I would add that he seems quite accepting of
them, stating that these problems are to be expected with newly
introduced gear.

They released a 50mm lens w/o QC problems.  That was the subject.

Nor have I. The subject was the new 'lux M.

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