No, not at all, this is what is so perplexing.  And it only appears to be a
problem with the 75.  The other lenses are fine.  Perhaps this is why I
haven't noticed it.  I've been using my 35, 50, and 90 most often.  More
than likely, the problem was there from the beginning.  I first tested the
camera with my 90, and it "passed" with flying colours, so I haven't gone
out of my way since then to do more testing.  Except I am certain that on
at least one roll I did waste some film playing with the 75 wide open, and
the results were perfect, then.

The DR Summicron was especially sharp, even with the eyes attached and wide
open to boot.  Very impressive, if only the shadow of the 75 wasn't hanging
over me.  I repeated the test with my older M6, but haven't developed the
film yet.
