I bought the camera yesterday and did some testing : I used a 35 mm
Summilux, a 50 mm Summilux and the 90 mm AA. The focus is off (the
rangefinder focuses nearer than the real plane of focus) by about 5%,
meaning that if one focuses on some object 2 meters away, the Leica lens on
the Hexar will focus 10 cm shorter than when it should.

Hi PATRICK,

MY HEXAR DOES THE SAME WITH ITS OWN 50/2 M-HEXANON LENS, NOT JUST WITH LEICA
M
LENSES.  SEVERAL OTHER HEXAR SAMPLES I SAW AT CAMERA SHOPS IN HONG KONG AND
VANCOUVER HAD THE SAME "PROBLEM" (BY SIMPLY CHECKING INFINITY).  SO I
SUSPECT
ALL HEXARS ARE OFF IN THAT MANNER,  BY DESIGN !!?
