Hi Nathan,

Same for me! I don't even know what it means? I focus and make sharp prints. 
:-)

But then my M lenses go a long way back 60's and early 70's. My Noctilux is 
the first one sold commercially in Canada and made in Canada!  Bought 
directly from Leica Canada at the time. Yep that was a long long time ago! 
:-) 

And it still works fine.

cheers,
ted









1 And yep it works fine.
