(apologies to list re previous html mail)

Do any of you have a sure fire technique of testing focus on a Leica M?  I
have just gotten back my Leica 90mm from DAG in which he found a couple of
loose elements and it is slightly sharper, but it seems to focus on things
in front of what I have focused on.  I suspect my rangefinder is off.  So
before I call up DAG on Monday, I want to do a test this weekend have some
film for him to inspect.  I was thinking of using a yardstick and place some
kind of mark on it.  Make some sort of note where I focused and then compare
it after the film is developed.
