Hi,
I recently became an R owner and have been thoroughly enjoying using the R6. This weekend I found an early 3-cam 80mm Summilux at a reasonable price (for a Leica lens that is!) and needless to say, I succumbed to its charms and bought it. While I haven't had a chance to process any images from it just yet, I am struck by how solid the whole affair feels.
One concern with it though is that the action on the focus ring is tighter than I prefer. I find that for long changes in focus distance I am turning both the camera and lens for the sake of speed. Of course I can't do this without taking the camera away from my eye.
Can this be adjusted? If so, whom does everyone recommend for doing R-system repairs in the US?
Many thanks!
