I was surprised to find my shots with the Voigtlander 12 and Hexar RF of the John Travalta film Swordfish weren't as sharp as my first 12 test shots on my M6. (the scene with the bus on its side in front of the bank was shot on Main Street in Ventura CA). I had the Hexar RF back focus checked, and it was off. It was fixed thru a friend at Konica Japan. Since the factory can fix the Hexar RF problem if it wants to, it completely escape me why some claim there is no problem just because they have not personally encountered it. Bob Shell's Hexar RF was also out of specs. His was fixed by Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain. certainly not all Hexar RF's have back focus problems, but some certainly do. the only way to be sure is to have a particular Hexar RF body checked by a good Leica tech.
