I'm afraid that it was the gray balance....

But I didn't shoot you with your Tilley hat on. You owe me one!

I don't want to say "me too" but I am having the same back focus problem
with my 75 'lux.  The lens is currently getting the coding and I then will
send in the M8 for upgrade and then I will send the pair in for adjustment.
I just hate to have the M8 out of my hands and have been delaying, as long
as possible, sending it in.

Ps I really like my portrait but, geeze, I didn't think I looked _that_ old!
;)  must be a problem with the white balance on the tri-x. ;)

I've had some focusing issues with my 75 'Lux as well. I don't know if it is
the lens or me. My local camera repair guy is an older geezer who looks like
Jack Warden. I don't think he is set up for lens calibration. Who does that
sort of work other than Solms?

I'm using the 28 cron asph, 35 lux asph, and 75 lux on my M8. The 28 and 35
focus dead on the money. However, I'm having back focus issues (I think I'm
using the term correctly - the lens focuses a few mm behind where I intend)
with the 75. That which is sharp is very sharp
- however, achieving intended focus has been a frustration. I'm trying to
teach myself to correct for issue - as I don't want to send the lens out for
calibration.
