[Leica] Received M8 & lenses repaired/adjusted by Solms

Geoff,

your help is much appreciated.  I'm still waiting on a reply from Solms.  

I made some more test shots yesterday.  Rather than a tape measure, I 
photographed my daughter with the 90 Tele-Elmar in question that Solms were 
paid to adjust, then made comparison shots with some other lenses, then the 
90 again.  The shots were consistent.  If I want a usable photo of a 
person's face using the 90, I need to guess-focus two or three heads away.  
Then take a few more shots, each with slightly differently guessed focusing. 
 Of course the moment is long gone.  Or I can focus on the eye and alter the 
focus using the lens DOF scale by about 20%.  I only need that workaround on 
that 90.  All the other lenses work by focusing on the person's eye.
