The infinity focus is about 3mm too soon on my Voigtlander 75mm so I can cope with it. The M4-2 went to a private repairer (I think) that Classic Camera deals with. Now, I've no beef against CC who offer great service and I'll buy from them again, but I wasn't impressed with the work on the M4-2. The camera came back covered in greasy finger prints and the vertical alignment still off, and infinity focus being past the lens stop when it was OK before it went in. I'm travelling off and on for the next 4-5 weeks, so I'll live with the problems and get a full service when I get back.
