My 75 is dead on. I tested it last weekend because the new 90 APO I bought was way off. My 75 was the control. The 90 is at Leica now getting fixed. It would be interesting to know what the heck happens to a lens (especially a new one) to make it not focus correctly. It seems so basic. Like a car with wheels that don't roll. Or a bucket with a hole in the bottom. Duh!!! How does it happen? Henry Ambrose
