I ordered mine not too long after they were released. The first one came with a defective LCD screen so that everything displayed as a shade of sickly green, and the second one came stuck in "M" mode. That's the mode I tend to use 95% of the time, but I like to have the opportunity to change every now and then. The third one is perfect. I've never had any problems with the e-dial on any of the three, and, since we don't have any tungsten lightbulbs left in the house, if it front focuses, I'll never know it.
It's a pleasure to use, and the lowlight capabilities are impressive.
