Not making any judgement, but does that sound like the old Microsoft joke
that what everyone else thinks is a bug, Microsoft just claims it is a new
feature???

I remember about 20-30 years ago, articles on Leica lenses said that small air bubbles were a natural occurrence in the making of fine optical glass, were not factory errors, and were no cause for concern.

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.
