Thank you very much for your both messages, it has sense, of course,  
maybe camera shake, maybe my eyes...

Next week end I'll a new test with tripod and focusing carefully.

Of course, here a 65 is a 95 and the 200 a 266, but I have not problem  
to focus the 200 on the M3 or M6...

Next week the response, thank you very much again,

Saludos cordiales
Lluis
