[Leica] Leitaxed R lenses on Nikon

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

I agree Doug.  So far all of my AF Nikon lenses (3) are right on with my D4. 
 None of my R lenses are off with my R8DMR, and I expect them to be right on 
from the start, besides there is no Lens Fine Tune function on the DMR, or 
in my M8 for that matter.

Cheers,
Gene

One would think that it would take less time to do it as part of
production.  It's shoddy manufacturing.  The cameras are sold defective.
