Jeffery:  Me too (regarding the 50 Hex). Back-focussed on my M8 by
about 3 inches and near drove me nuts.  I sent mine to DAG to see what
could be done about it and he claimed that only partial adjustments
were possible because internal parts were "loc-tited" in place.  Too
bad, too because the qualities of the lens, when focused, are fine.

This will no doubt infuriate some folks, but I've been very pleased
with my 28/2.8 Hexanon on the M8. Doesn't seem to have any focusing or
bokeh issues. I also tried my 50/2 Hexanon on the M8. Wide open, it
didn't focus on what I was focusing on, if you get my drift. But still
a fine f/5.6 Tri-X lens.
