[Leica] 90 APO Asph on M8

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

I would comment basis my experience (and Henning's too) unless Mark is  
lucky there may be issues getting the 90 APO to focus accurately on  
the M8. I have overcome the problem with several trips to the Leica  
repair station in HK and also paying the local independent Leica  
repair person to adjust my 90 when Leica said the lens would have to  
visit Solms for adjustment. It now focuses accurately and the crop  
isn't a big deal but getting to full functionality has been long and  
frustrating. But Mark may be lucky.
Cheers
Howard
