Have a few questions about focus shift and other things, so I put the M9 on
a tripod and did some testing.

The good news is that neither the 85/2 Sonnar nor the 75 Summilux 75 shows
any focus shift at all. Really great news.

Not so good is that the Zeiss 25 finder I have is severely tilted, as I
suspect.

(excuse the mess)

Photoshop says it's 2.35 degrees off :-(

I have sent an email to Zeiss inquiring repair. I have used 15, 21, and
another 25 Zeiss finders before and none has this problem. Sigh.
