Stephen said it was a case of the screws being vibrated loose - as in 
a plane flight.  Not covered by warranty. Send $60 for labor.  I was 
in Peru.  When I got back and received the package with my repaired 
35/1.2, I just sent the Paypal fee of $60.  I'm really not 
complaining about the $60 labor fee.  If I had to totally disassemble 
a lens to rescrew the blades, I would probably think $60 was 
reasonable.  I'm just concerned that this may be an ongoing expense 
with this lens.  If not, and it was a manufacturing problem, I would 
think it should have been covered; but, I don't want to use this lens 
extensively and find out that it has to be reworked every six 
months.  That would make it a more expensive lens than my Leica ones!!
