I bought a similar one like yours as well, but returned and exchanged it for an unused later model (Summilux pre-ASPH). Reasons being: (a) 43 filters and caps are difficult to find (nowadays, it's either 39mm or 46mm), (b) the closest focus was 1m while the next generation focuses down to 0.7m, and (c) somehow I could never get close-up portraits in focus on my Epson R-D1s at f/1.4.
