My oh my... Boys, some lenses are made that way, i.e. for compensate temperature changes (esp. mirror lenses) or simply because it
was error when making a lens...
If your lens focuses well, then why wonder? Take ground glass, put it on
film rails, focus via rangefinder on some distant lights and watch GG with
a loupe. see if you can improve image by focusing slightly closer or
farther. If yes, then you have a faulty Summicron. If not, you are a boring
nitpicker who dares to say bad things about oh-so-nice lens :)
In any case you are uncreative, have no technical abilities and
your M should be taken from you.. :)
PS
You say you DON'T KNOW how to calibrate your RF????????? :)
