I'm beginning to wonder if mine has drifted, and my question is: how far is
infinity for a 50 summicron-M?  It seems I have to twist a tad past infinity
for telephone poles several yards away (perhaps 30 yards, or 100 feet)to
line up--when I could have sworn objects at that distance lined up when the
camera was new (just two months ago).  However, if I focus on an object
_way_ over yonder--like 300 feet away or more--then it seems they are
aligned at infinity...and yet they are so small it is a bit difficult to
tell, so perhaps my eyes are just playing tricks on me.

In any event, my photos don't seem to be fuzzy, so perhaps it is nothing to
worry about even if it has gone slightly adrift.
