Unfortunately, if tolerances stack the wrong way, that might not be the case. I have a current Summicron 50 that needs a little help to get to infinity on one of my M's; all the other distances are fine. The only way to really know is to shoot some images and see. The landscapes you shot with the Noctilux and Tech Pan were certainly sharp enough so on whatever body you were using infinity works.
