After a while, another update, this time from Hapa.
Got my 50-135 back today (well, not really "mine", but the tilt-lens they sent as replacement).
Good news: successful repair, lens tube has been replaced, no more tilt, lens is sharp (not decentered!).
Bad news 1: strong backfocus. However, this time to a degree that can be corrected in camera (requires -14 on a scale of +/- 20).
Bad news 2: lens is full of dust now *sigh*
Will have to think about sending it in again ....
