One thing I received from this discussion is that I am now going to start
using my Noctilux on my M3.   I have been using it on my M4-2 up until know.

I have experienced some out of focus pictures.   However, I have been
sneaking a shot and used a stand in point to focus on that appeared to be
equidistant to my intended subject.  Amazingly, most my pictures were in
focus.

I still can't make up my mind to my favorite the M3 or the M4-2.   I like
both for picture taking.

Best regards,
Roland Smith

NO ANARCHY!
