Make sure you remove those glass/air interfaces between you and the star (your window) Is the cam follower on your MP dirty or stuck or wobbly? Then, is the cam surface on the 50 'cron dirty at all? Is your MP the same magnification? I have a theory but it's a longshot. Is your Cron mounting the same way on the MP? If the lugs and the locking tab are just a mm or two off, the cut surface in the lens cam would be rotated a bit clockwise (looking towards the camera front) and the cam follower would then be riding on the raw surface into which the cam angle is ground. I had this happen once with my rigid 'Cron but it was on a significantly older camera so the lugs were worn and the locking tab didn't engage as positively. This is just a thought. What you need is an M9 to see if your lens actually focuses to infinity where it's supposed to. ;) Good luck.
