I heard complaints about possible (mis)alignement of some Leica lenses or some types of lenses in some series on some Leica M cameras i.e M-7-8 and even 9. There are not only problems of RF alignements, there are also possible problems of mounting some lenses on some of these bodies and focussing to infinity. Read the warnings mentionned by Leica, among others in some of their recent M-9 users manuals. I for example have a double problem with a N.F. Summicron 50 mm F:2. In general I prefer to check first, costs nothing, and avoids for example a lens stuck on a camera or any other damage. Remember the M-5 saga with it's swinging arm inside? It never happened to me but I heard a lot of cries at the time. For the rest I think it's a matter of precision of some words used in the English language. I wanted a precision. Thank you to Peter Cheyne for his sympatetic answer. Cedric 2013/3/1 Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu>: > Cedric, do you actually read what people write?
