In the rangefinder adjustment there is a facility for correcting the 1m distance (it is the screw at the back of the cam, not on the roller of the cam). You can do it yourself, but you need a special tool for it. If you have access to a reputable Leica service you should have them do it. Also, this correction should have been done when you had the camera adjusted before. Go back to them and take along the Noctilux and insist that they "match" the lens to the body. It is quite common that you have to do this. I have an old M3 that is dedicated to my Noctilux and also a M4-P that is dedicated to the 75/1,4. On my M6 HMTTL they both work perfectly, but I have to adjust the rangefinder on my M6HM yet. All the best, Tom A
