John351 Posted January 12 Share #1 Posted January 12 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all, Please look at the attached two pictures. This is a new q3. I have 2 possibly 3 spots on the lens that I've taken a lens pen to and gently rubbed after blowing dust off with a hand squeeze bulb blower. These few spots seem to be in the lens or on the inside of the lens. Again, I haven't gotten too aggressive with rubbing. I put a UV filter on it, so this isn't anything I've gotten on the lens. Is this normal for a Leica lens and don't worry about it or should I reach out to Leica? The camera isn't that old and I'm still within the time period to send it back for an exchange if I need to. I'd rather do that than send it for repair and wait. Note too that I turned the camera around 180 degrees from photo 1 to photo two so you can see it's not a light source spot in the lens.

markie linhart Posted January 12 Share #2 Posted January 12 If it’s not an inconvenience I’d definitely go back to the dealer…✌️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted January 13 Share #3 Posted January 13 To my eye, it appears to be a coating aberration. Definitely check with the dealer and insist on a hassle free solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute-on Posted January 13 Share #4 Posted January 13 Send it back for an exchange so you don’t need to waste any more time developing needless consternation. I’m sure the replacement will be perfect … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John351 Posted January 14 Author Share #5 Posted January 14 Thanks everyone. I spoke to B&H and they are allowing me to return it and swap the camera out without issue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
