It seems my Aperture ring wobles slightly, if you grab it you can move forward and backwards and it makes a popping noise, is that normal ?

 

thanks

I came home and had a play with my copy, not that i can wiggle it back and forth but say when i set at f1.2 i could slightly wiggle it to the right n left.. however mine hadnt been used intensively though

Ok thanks for that, I guess it’s no biggie I’ll use it and near warranty end I’ll send it off to Leica for overhaul might get free service. Thee we lens so so good I don’t want to part with it right now. It’s glued to my m11

I use it for everything. Stopped down it’s very sharp but there is barrel distortion but easily cropped out if I don’t want it. So much character though and lovely Color’s. I find myself hardly editing photos bar the basics
