I sent it to Leica and also had it twice adjusted by an independent service person, Leica trained, in Hong Kong and none of the fiddling could get the lens to focus accurately over the entire range. I finally sold it - before the prices sky rocketed - unfortunately. I believe Henning had similar problems with his version too. I kept my 90 Elmarit and it focuses like a charm - even on the X Pro 1 - remember my balloon silhouette shot from the Burmese sunrise?

I was just reading Erwin was saying the problems with the 90 Apo asph on the M9 or a myth. Not his words. By far. As that's a main lens for me that bit of info gets my interest.
