jaapv Posted December 18, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted December 18, 2012 In that case you will have to send it in to Leica, I fear. Call first to make an appointment and keep the turnaround as short as possible. In the meantime you can of course use the lens without problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfnoob Posted December 20, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted December 20, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is this even a problem except that it's cosmetic? Since with a manual lens, the aperture does not need to snap to a smaller aperture like an auto focus lens, it won't cause any sticking. Â Or am I missing something?

jaapv Posted December 20, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted December 20, 2012 Oil can get on lens elements, damage the"glue" on cemented surfaces of the lens,etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
