The easiest thing would be to go to your dealer and try your lenses and body against theirs. I had a fifty that was the odd man out in my lens line up and I sent it in for a CLA and a rangefinder cam adjustment. No problems since. If it is only very slightly out I would test it out wide open at infinity and closest focus, if everything is fine on film, you could wait until things are due their regular CLA* to make adjustments. Remember infinity is far far away. Test on a target at least 3.5 kilometres (2 miles) away and do not test through glass.
