They were all fairly new lenses without any problems. Three of them came back in 3 to 4 weeks. The 4th lens, a 35mm Summicron Asph. took about 7 weeks. They ran out of flanges for this lens and had to wait for more parts from Solms. The last two lenses were sent in and received by NJ on June 28th. I received a letter back saying it would take 4 to 6 weeks. One of the lenses was the 1st Tri-Elmar which had a sloppy detent in the 28mm position. We'll see if they fix that. So far what they've done on my stuff has been perfect. There was never a mention of any adjustment, only coding.
