Well Bob, it's really strange. I start to believe in what some say on
photo.net, the mechanical quality of the R System is not up to what is
expected for the price...
Just love the Raccoon shots, may be because we don't have them in France....
Cheers.

Xavier -
The irony of all this is that my 50 Summilux M needs to be separated in exactly the way you describe (in order to fix the dumb collapsible hood) and it won't come apart!
I showed it to Don Goldberg last year and he said it would probably take a lot of heat to release the Loc-Tite on the threads and he really didn't want to risk it...
By the way.. some new critter shots at:

This morning, I palyed around with the lenses, "fondling" is the word I think.
And there the summilux, moving the distance ring a couple of times.
Suddenly, getting loose, looser and looser.
Hey, what happens, the lens comes into two parts, barrel in left hand, optical group in right.
My poor Summilux....
I went to the repair shop.....to learn that it happens sometimes with summulix 50mm, a bad serie sir, we have seen before.
Damn'it! Merde!
G'Day to all.
