Not making up any rules Mark.

Just an honest question.
Wondering if you've had an opportunity to try your M lens collection on a 
digital M body.
A friend here in Milwaukee rented an M body just to see if it may be for him.

My experience with my M8, M, and M Monchrom  are very similar to others 
who've needed to have lenses and or bodies adjusted to get them more 
precisely in line with specifications.

My 35 lux Asph front focuses horribly.
My 75 lux has similar problems.
Neither of those lenses exhibited problems
on my 3 M6 film bodies.

While my 50 lux Asph and 28 cron Asph both
focus dead accurate on all three digital M bodies

That's my experience with four lenses on 3 film different film bodies
and 3 different digital M bodies.

I certainly appreciate your very extensive "qualifications" and opinions,
most especially on the equipment and processes you've used over the decades.

a note off the iPad, George
