On my Hexar I've used the 24/2.8, 28/2.0, 35/1.4, 50/2.0, 75/1.4 and
the Tri.  I don't believe I've used the 90 or the 135 on it, as I have
higher-magnification Leica bodies I prefer for those lenses.  I've
used the 28 and the 35 wide open at closest focus with no problem but
I have not used the 75 in any configuration more challenging than 2.0
at 1.5 meters.  I regret to say I've never put the camera on a tripod.

I've never noticed any focus problems of any sort  No missed planes of
focus, no RF decoupling below .7m, nada.
