 the lens had a little back focus with the m8, which to me is not a surprise
as all of my leica lenses needed adjustments with the m8, when i sent the
lens in, i asked Don to test and adjust the focus (back focus).

Jeffery this lens is just as sweet on the M8 as it was on the Konica. i sold
the body rather than having it adjusted also since i do have another konica
rf adjusted for the m lenses.
