[Leica] PESO: RG Lewis and Leica M frustrations

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I suspect that you are going by an email from me, there are primarily two 
'exotic' spherical lenses which give issues - f1.0 Noctilux and 75mm 
Summilux both are +30 year old designs. If you use asph or Summarit lenses 
you are unlikely to have the same issues. I cannot see the X20 instead of an 
M ;-)

I can happily announce that both Noctilux and 75mm Summilux (just back from 
Solms again) focus perfectly on the M rangefinder
