In my case, I think my focusing problems stem from:
1. the clear glass focus screen which, unlike the matte type of screen 
to which I am accustomed, does not permit the image to pop into focus 
(when all else fails, blame the equipment )
2. a nasty little habit I've discovered I have - I sometimes nudge the 
focus ring as I release the shutter

There is no focus confirmation with the Leica lenses; the connection 
provided by the adapter is mechanical only.
