I have three Leica M lenses of the three the Elmarit f2.8 28mm is my favourite and gets a lot of use. Just downloaded my latest crop of images and when checking them I have found that a number were out of focus, or partially out of focus. Now I have been using an M for 6 years and I have not had any focusing problems. At first I thought my eyes were playing up but checking images taken from a couple of weeks ago those are fine. Further examination reveals the whole front of the lens is wobbly! - I thought it was the hood but it isn't its the whole front there is a couple of millimeters movement on the lens front. Now I have not dropped or banged the camera and can't think how it has come loose. I keep the camera in a protector inside a neoprene case, only thing I can think of is stuffing it in and out of my Billingham bag might have put pressure on the lens hood which has levered the front of the lens, The other possibility was that it might have been a consequence of the very hot weather we had in the UK the other week. On the hottest day I had been asked to do a photo survey of my old school for the old pupils association and I was aware of the camera and lens getting quite hot. Now the question - how to get it fixed? Is it a return to Leica problem or is there an easier fix? If it does have to go back how much is the repair likely to cost? In the meantime I had better get the 35mm Summicron out of storage - but that doesn't offer the wider view. Thanks for any ideas. John
