Pita?

[Lonius Funk]

When people use the word PITA to describe Leica Lenses or the cameras themselves..what does it mean? Someone said I had a PITA lens but I can't confirm that since I don't know the meaning. Help me out please.

Oh yeah..the lens I have (35mm Summicron)..only 800 were made without the threading..would that be considered a collectors item? Or does the number have to be under 500 to fit that category. Thank you

I would hardly think any Leica lens could be described as a PITA unless it was in deplorable shape.
