The first problem I had was the sticky focussing - it was impossible to micro-adjust the focussing because as you applied more torque to the focussing ring, it would stick, then jump. Then, after they fixed that, the lens focussed beyond infinity once you got to about 10m (an extreme case of front focussing). Once it does that, nothing is in focus anywhere in the subject field.
One of the benefits of the Panasonic G1 is that you can see the actual focus from the lens and see just how critical it is, same for the 75mm Summilux.
Don't think coding caused the problems, they were built in when the lens was made.
