If your photos are consistently out of focus, it could be because you are shooting wide open with a fast lens and you are not being carefull enough, and the shallow depth of field isn't helping you, or the rangefinder needs adjusting. Try testing a roll of film under controlled conditions to make certain that there really isn't wrong with the camera. If the camera is working properly, focusing an M6 is really very simple. Dan C.
