I recently purchased this lens, and I think it is defective. I am new to the Leica ecosystem, so I may be wrong. The focus throw rolls to the left of the 0.7m min. distance mark and the focus patch in the VF stops moving below 1.5m. I can use Live View to focus at 0.7m, but the patch is not showing the image in focus. See pics for example of the focus throw. This is my first Leica M lens. I bout it used from a very large online retailer located in NYC and it came with all of the original packaging. The label from Leica on the outer box is stamped 2024/04/25 and it matches the S/N.
My 35mm Voitlander works as expected. The focus patch, etc. function as intended.
Is this lens defective? Is my understanding of how the lens should operate incorrect?
