Thanks for looking and commenting Jim.
The 60 Macro is certainly a very respected Leitz lens.
And for good reason.

If you right click >open in new window on the church shot
I think you'll see that the focus is quite sub par.
Not at all up to what this lens should deliver.

I have suspicions about what may account for this.
Just haven't had a chance to test my two hypotheses.

a note off the iPad, George
