Subject: [Leica] Question for R-D1s / 75 Summilux users

Is there anybody on the list that has a Epson R-D1s (not R-D1) and a 75mm 
f1.4 Summilux? Because I received my replacement R-D1s two days ago and 
found one problem with that lens.

The lens does not couple properly on that camera - the coupling tab of the 
camerabody slips inside the coupling tube of the lens, when focusing toward 
infinity. A user from the RFF forum reported the same problem, too. 

The Summilux worked well on the R-D1. I have the impression that the 
coupling tab of the R-D1s is mounted a tad lower, toward optical centre axis 
of the lens. The difference might be a third millimetre (compared to a M6), 
but it's enough to get stuck inside the 75 Summilux.

Glad for any feedback,
Didier
