[Leica] Soft focus confusion, was: IMG: Miyazaki weekend walk

[geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk (Peter Cheyne)]

Thank you for noticing, Vince, that my photographs are consistently  
soft in focus.  It is not a deliberate choice, and I don't know what  
to do about it.
I use an M3, M6 and M8 (which is at Solms for repair right now).  The  
Miyazaki photos you viewed were taken with the M6 and a CV Nokton 35.   
Perhaps my M6 needs calibrating.

I use these 3 cameras and five lenses.  Of those lenses, the Nokton 35  
and the Summicron 50 are the ones I usually use.  However, in any  
given month I'll
use the other 3 lenses too.

I would like to be confident that my lenses focus well with my  
cameras.  This is where I get confused.  Should I send my 3 cameras  
and 5 lenses at once to a repair
person?  I sometimes think perhaps I should, because only then would  
the set be calibrated as a whole.  If I sent a couple of lenses and  
one camera
to be calibrated, then everything else in my cabinet might be more out  
of focus for me than before.

In a nutshell, I haven't addressed the issue because I don't know what  
to do.  Advice appreciated!
