The Noctilux thread has reminded me ... A while back I played with my M6 with the back off and 35/1.4 attached, observing the focussing linkages moving as I twisted the lens. I noticed that the linkages stopped adjusting slightly before the lens stopped turning. I now avoid using lenses at their near focussing limit, concerned that the rangefinder may not be faithful at that point. This can also be seen in the viewfinder; the patch stops focussing just before the lens stops moving. This anomaly could cause images to be focussed closer than was shown by the rangefinder.
