You are adjusting the rangefinder infinity setting. And while it will make all your lenses more usable as far as back focus, it will mess up the longer lenses at infinity. The adjustment made my 90mm APO Summicron and 135mm APO Telyt un-useable. My Noctilux and all 50mm lenses and wider were perfect though. Now that I have my 2nd M8, I'm leaving the rangefinder alone and getting my two problem lenses fixed. Just a warning to be careful.
