This is important as my focussing could be off by as much as .25mm or less - this is an important issue and one that deserves serious investigation and yet I cannot recall it being raised before? How could that be. Why haven't we been told? Someone must know - are they keeping t from us?? (of course at these temperatures my M become basically a solid useless ump requiring a 12" long pipe wrench to turn the focus with and of course the shutter is moving at anywhere from twice to ten times slower than normal! Oh, that's when I use my N***n F4 - never failed yet in those temperatures :) ) Tim A > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of John > Collier > Sent: May 13, 2001 9:23 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] A NEW TOPIC > > > I heard that the Hexar RF has a different back focus from an M camera.
