it's just a mechanical lens, most issues can usually be fixed by any local shop for a low price. if you might want to return it though that makes sense.

That's what I thought too, but I tried a few repair shops for my CV 10, and no one would touch it. Actually, no one wants to touch my cy 100-300 either. I have the smallest bit of Haze on an element edge, no one will touch it. Not a big deal as it doesn't affect IQ, but future longevity is questionable.

You gotta get these lenses right. I was told by a reliable source that CV lenses are boutique lenses because they lack adjustments. If tilted or decentered, elements won't be able to be adjusted at the shop. Not saying it's true or false, just happen to trust the source.
mechanical problems with lens movements and stuff on the glass are easy to fix. i've know shops that do for voigtlanders in Chicago, SF, and Portland (all the places i've lived), all for under $100.
fixing decentering/misalignment is another issue entirely. it depends on the lens design whether it's easy to do or not, but usually requires precision equipment to test (some shops will still be willing to fiddle and see if they can fix it).

The wider the lens, the more likely it is to render terribly when you're focusing somewhere in the middle between infinity and closeups.
