I wasn't too worried about the focusing problems, the photos from both the M3 
and M2 look great. I was just befuddled as to why the lens would work fine on 
one body and not the other. But I think you all have more than answered that 
question and thanks for all the replies.

 With a wider lens, focus at infinity seems pretty much a moot point- cose is
 good enough, and focusing extremely close just begs for distortion that may
 well obviate any question of focus- in the mid range- the DOF would, it
 seems, make it less critical.
 N'est-ce pas?
