The problems were a) the M6 .72 TTL had a vertical RF adjustment needed... ( new, 1 week old!) b) the 'Lux seemed to focus about 5 FEET behind the RF indication....check the focus c) match the 'Lux to the M6 RF The repairs took about 2 weeks door to door, after I argued with Leica/NJ that the camera was new, no excuse were accpetable to wait 6-8 weeks for repair.... Cost was a total of $35 plus shipping ..... I took a roll of TMX last night of our 22 year old son who was watching TV... NO MOVEMENTS... he could have been a stone statue! Focus was on the bridge of his nose ( eyeglasses )... 36 shots to be sure, and every one shot at F1.4, 5 feet distance, 1/30 of a second. The results look superb.... nice consistent focus at what looks like the center of his mustache.... can not yet tell if the plane of focus is the same as the bridge of his nose..... but I think so..... Nice out of focus highlights....REAL NICE! A winner at last....now for some real shots..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
