[Leica] Is 1999 Nocti have problem with M8

Jerry,

Except for the 1.2 version, both 1.0 versions of the Noctilux have  
the same lens formula so you would expect the same shift. However it  
appears that it is unit to unit variation that makes it acceptable or  
not. My Noctilux produced in 2006 had the shift problem. I have  
photos that are much sharper at f1.0 then they are at f2.8. And  
that's mounted on a tripod without changing focus.
