Subject: [Leica] leica r9 focusing problem? need advise

My guess is that when you fitted the focussing screen
which comes with the DMR that it did not seat properly
such that the distance lens register via mirror to
screen surface is different than from register to
sensor. This would guarantee that anything in focus on
the screen would be out of focus on the sensor.
Have a go at re-fitting it. Hope this helps.
