Later I got a second M8 used which had been adjusted recently at Solms by the previous owner. Actually he had bought the camera, shot a couple of shots with it, sent it to Solms and then sold it. So the camera was 'better than new' :-). My Noctilux worked perfectly with that camera, as did the Summilux. So I knew it was the camera that was off. I then sent the camera, Noctilux and some other lenses to Solms to get coded and adjusted, telling them don't adjust the Noctilux, just use it as a basis to adjust the M8. Which they did. So now both cameras work exactly the same, and are fine with those two fast lenses. -- * Henning J.
