Noctilux came back much better but not perfect, made perfect on M9 in NZ. Summilux came back back-focussing badly, sent to Solms again and still not quite right on either camera :-( I am not sure how the Noctilux can only focus well on M9 but a 50mm Summilux asph works wide open on either? john -----Original Message----- On Oct 11, 2012, at 8:19 PM, Marty Deveney <benedenia at gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry Ted, I disagree, at least if you want photos that are in focus. > My M8, M9 and MM focused so far out with my Noctilux and 75 Summilux > before they were properly calibrated that all my photos were just > fuzz. > > Marty hi Marty, how (specifically) were they calibrated?
