yes ... and by using a tripod with your leica, you're defeating the
purpose of using a tripod. if you're going to carry a tripod around, carry
a mamyia around too and your results will be MUCH sharper. 

i don't think sharp is the reason to get a leica.

my advice: don't worry about your 53 lpm resolution. there are lots of
perfectly fine and very fameous blurry leica shots or shots that might not
necessarily be blurry but in which sharpness doesn't really matter. and i
can think of a lot of pin sharp photos i've seen that just suck.

keep pushing that shutter button, it'll come unstuck.
