I got the M9 back the evening before the only sunny/dry day this week.

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
