It seems that stopping down, as you say you do, to f/11 would be more than enough to compensate for the supposed difference in the focusing cams which neither I nor other CL users I've heard from have found to be a problem. The only thing I can think of is that there is either damage or horrendous mis-alignment of the rangefinder if you are in fact experiencing a focusing problem. Or is it possible that some unsharpness might be due to camera shake from using too slow of a shutter speed rather than focusing? Try some tripod mounted shots. If those show the same defect, I would be inclined to return the camera if it was a recent purchase, or send it in for repair. Good luck.
