[Leica] A tripod, an M8, and two candles

Brian,

I don't think it's a focus problem either but I think the focus  
point, in your tripod test, is slightly behind where you think you  
focused. It looks very similar to Tina's candle and flag picture  
where she questioned her eyesight. A little while ago one of the  
Luggers posted an url to a focus chart. I printed the chart and  
tested my cameras for focus and was OK. But I can't find the photo of  
the chart I downloaded. Maybe someone here still has the url.
