I love this lens with my M8, best $540 I ever spent (bought from Cameraquest).
Now here is my problem (if it really is a problem).
Normally, all parts of this lens or any other lens are tightly assembled. That is the way the lens was when new. Lately, I have noticed a very slight loose
feeling in the lens when I grab the lens hood. I can see a very very slight rotation of the lens elements, almost like the lens element cluster is not tightly screwed into the focusing mount. I really do not see this as a problem yet, as I see a similar problem in my 30 year old 28mm Elmarit. I realize as these things experience use and vibration, they will come loose and will have to be adjusted from time to time. This is a newer lens (6 months old) and am just wondering who else had or has this problem (if it is a problem). Has anyone by themselves adjusted or tightened the lens useing a lens wrench? I have taken apart some russian lenses (61 Industar LD) and also my 35mm Summicron ( I had to take it apart to fix the focusing tab, the screw fell out inside the lens barrel) and if you line evrything up, you can service these things by yourself. Is there a ring somewhere inside the mount that will tighten it?
