After posting the question I came up with some hypothetical responses myself - -ernie ur getting old ( true 'nuff) and so are your eyes - -50/1 is tough even with M6 classic - -how do your work horse lenses compare and does the DOF even wide open at f/2 cover up the problem? The answer is that with 35/2, 35/1.4 and 50/2 seemed to be close enough for the DOF to handle when open all the way open. Also brought out the M4 to check and all three ( M4, M6 and hexar) were all reasonably close. Perhaps a tempest in a teapot so long as I don't shoot 50/1 or 90/2.8 wide open. On the other hand when I presented the problem to my wife (standard issue leica spouse -"what the hell do you need another camera for") her response is that If I need a Hexar lens to test I should just go out and buy it - so there may me a silver lining to this cloud. Now for the inverse ? Anyone have problems taking Hexar lenses and using them on M bodies? Once again Dante I appreciate your missive. Ernie Nitka
