Any thoughts?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I have quite a few lenses that can do that. And?

Is this common in a lens that is still new? Also, is there a way to fix that?

Is there any way to post your video, so we need not download it, before viewing? I am being prompted to sign-off on things with which I am not comfortable, and perhaps install some kind of mystery-ware.

Of course it van be embedded or linked, but Dropbox is  a legitimate file transfer service.

If it bothers you, the only way is to return the lens

Leica designs the aperture with a little bit of play to ensure against the aperture mechanism binding and damaging the aperture blades.  If you send the lens to Leica, maybe they can adjust it.  There is not an at-home quick fix if that is what you're asking.

Thanks. I have used drop box to transfer files between devices, but had never before been prompted to agree to things, or install anything.
