the Greenspun board has been set a-buzzing by a letter from Herb Keppler
stating that Pop Photo found a 1mm difference between the back focus of the
Leica and the Hexar RF.  That seemed to me like an absurd amount.

I just put up a page with the results of a test I did to see if my Hexar RF
and my Leica M6 would produce identical results when using a wide angle
lens, wide open, focussed at infinity (the most sensitive test for back
focus differences).
