At least this dealer is trying to make it right, though the last email, where they told me what they were going to do, was a bit terse. But at least they are doing the right thing. I've posted the image I sent them to prove back focus. Taken on a tripod with a leveled M and sensor plane parallel to the counter top. Focus was on the right hand, middle row, white button: http://www.rgaphoto.com/test/content/L1000304_large.html Looks like about 13 - 15cm back focus to me...
