Subject: [Leica] soft focus?

I love my M6...Until recently!   I bought a new 90 2.8 Elmarit...and no 
matter what, I can't seem to get any sharp results.  This is really a 
pisser...being that my 50 mm and my 24mm are as sharp as can be,  I always 
get outstanding results from those lenes.  I thought that maybe I was having 
a tough time focusing the 90mm at long distance shots...but I just shot two 
more rolls and I did portrait type distance shots, and lo and 
behold...they're all soft on the focus.  Does anybody have a clue why this is 
happening?   My wife says I spend to much money on "those damn little lenes" 
and now this (the soft focus) is just fueling her fire....Help!?!
