If so John, that means that the rangefinders on both of my M6s are
incorrect.

And when they are "corrected" by a technician then all my other lens will
focus differently.

Hence if I look over my approximately 1000(especially the ones that I
intended to be focused at infinity) slides taken with these two cameras, at
least some of them will be out of focus.   Both at infinity and closer.

But most of the slides are focused correctly.  Accept when I goofed up.  My
65 year old eyes are not as good as they used to be even with glasses on.

But my eyes are good enough to see that this new 135mm lens, when focused at
infinity, is much different than all my other lens.  On the same two
cameras.       Dale
