50 Lux ASPH - lens adjustment/rebuild + coding by Leica = how much/ how long? I have a 50 Lux ASPH, which I love as a lens. My recently bought Leica M8.2 finally exposed an issue, I was not aware of with this lens. There is a slight play between the lens barrel and focus group, resulting in quite substantial focus shift (which explains my issues, I had with my R-D1 and this lens on some occasions). I am pretty sure, this is an adjustment, which can be made by a skilled Leica technician and might involve either a simple calibration or complete lens rebuild. - Did anyone here had have a Leica 50 Summilux ASPH either adjusted or rebuild and coded by Leica? - Which costs were involved? - How long was the turnaround time? - How did you ship it with insurance? - What were the shipping costs? - Is this issue known to any Lux user? - What was the remedy? I am thinking about either having the lens overhauled by Leica, if the costs are reasonable or selling it back to the second hand dealer, funding a 90 Cron AA or a 35 Lux ASPH for my M8.2.
