My own 75 is at the shop being calibrated to my M6.... I took the lens out
for its initial "trip" and found that at F1.4 ALL my exposures were focused
on the background, not on my subject ( Subject was a guitar player about 6-8
feet away from me.  Background was about 5 FEET behind him.)

I have been focusing with a RF since I was 13, so I should understand how to
do it..... these out of focus shots were the first I have had probably since
I was 13..... the whole roll was toast......

Hopefully this calibration will fix the issue.  I am looking forward to the
Bokeh......

I just called to get the repair estimate....$35 to match the body and lens
focus....not too bad...
