I’ll be without a lens for my M8 again! NOOOOOOOO!

As reported earlier, my Biogon 2/35 doesn’t focus to infinity correctly. According to a Zeiss technician, this might be due to slight manufacturing differences in M8 bodies (but I’d guess also in Zeiss’ lenses), so that the flange distance isn’t exactly up to specs for a given body/lens combination. They can fix this under warranty, though – but I ‘ll have to send my Biogon in for that …

I’m considering getting some el-cheapo substitute, maybe even a terribly slow lens, just to have something to shoot with … or just stick to my E-P1 for the time being?

EDIT: A though just crossed my mind. Maybe I should use the opportunity of not having the Biogon for some time to send in the M8 as well. The outlook of having to spend money again kept me from doing so so far, but I would get it back with the defunct pixels mapped out, and I could ask them to adjust and clean the rangefinder as well while they’re at it. And they’d probably also clean the sensor – I believe that’s standard service anytime you send your camera in. Hmm … decisions to be made, again.
