I just brought my beloved Lumix 20/1.7 MFT pancake lens back to my local dealer from whom I bought it. The lens already had some minor dust particles on the inside when it was new, but now a really huge (i. e. visible) dark piece of whatever has managed to intrude into the lens, leaving its traces in highlight bokeh when shooting wide open – I don’t think that’s supposed to be happening to a half-year old 350 € lens, right?

Anyway, now I have a reason to use that kit zoom some more I hope Panasonic will replace the lens soon, and I don’t have to wait as long as those trying to get a new one …

In other news, my dealer offered me his old Leica R8 with five lenses reaching from 28 to 300mm – can I resist such an offer? (Or rather: can I afford such a setup?)
