[Leica] [IMG] Attitude (was Received M8 & lenses repaired/adjusted by Solms)

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

Trying to find a workaround to my badly front-focusing 90mm Tele- 
Elmarit, I took a few photos of my daughter and then moved the focus  
ring another little turn beyond the correct RF alignment.  I had to do  
this for or five times to get it right by chimping.  In this photo my  
daughter is giving me her "attitude" look.  Here is the shot, with the  
RF focus being about 25cm behind her eyes:

This lens has front-focused since it came back to me from Solms after  
an adjustment.  Customer Services there have advised me to send the  
lens to Milton Keynes in the UK because I will be in the UK this  
August.  I will probably do that if Milton Keynes tell me it is fine  
for me to bring the lens there myself and have them do the repair the  
same day so I can see it working properly before I take it back.

Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate it!
