Earlier this year I sent my kit off to Solms, the M9 to be recalibrated and the older lenses to be 6-bitted and set up for the M9. When they came back the M9 had not seemed quite so sharp (if that matters ;-)) as it had been before, the Noctilux front focussed 100mm and the 75mm Summilux back focussed about 250mm. I sent the 75mm back to Solms, which takes weeks but I sent the Noctilux to someone in NZ. He needed the camera to get a perfect fit, when I got it back the had made a slight adjustment to the RF - this worried me as Solms should have got it correct when it was over. The Noctilux now focuses as well as it can but the asph lenses now have that real edge to them again :-) I will write and tell Solms I think, that was not good enough for the time and money taken. Anyway, here are some pictures from yesterday http://johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2012/25 C & C welcome john
