I was able to take advantage of the 5% discount from
Leica last Friday and bought the R9 with the
Summicron-R 90mm ASPH. I wanted the R9 with the
black top instead of the other color so I'll be
picking that up in about a week when it comes in. In
the meantime, I took home the lens and have had
a chance to look at it closely.
The back of the lens looks perfect, however the front
of the lens has about 7 or 8 tiny "specks" in what
seems like air bubbles or something like that
inside the front glass. I'm pretty sure it's not air
bubbles, however I'm at a loss of words to describe
it. I know it's not going to effect the quality of
any pictures I take, though I was wondering if anyone
else with Leica lenses can see the same type of
"specks".
Just a note, I can only see them when holding it close
and at a angle when the light hits it just right.
When held out at the distance of my arm, I'm
very hard pressed to see them.
I will have the dealer look at it though I was
wondering if it's normal.
Thanks!
Barney
PS, when I have a little more time, I'll fill you in
on how I had a chance to meet one of the reps.
