What is the issue in your opinion with the shimming process?. It is a Leica response to the criticality of sensor placement to extract the best from the lens performance. Leica are using very modern precision measurement processes that report the shimming adjustments needed and down to one hundredth of a mm increments at three points. I would be very surprised if any other camera company works to that level of accuracy. Can you provide examples of how it should be done differently? You might like to read some of the reporting that has surfaced recently regarding the digital back sample variations in high end medium format cameras for comparison. 2009/9/15 Dennis <dennis at hale-pohaku.net> > Ok, Luminous Landscape titled it "M9" but all I saw was M8s. > > From what I saw Leica needs to look at improving their manufacturing > processes.
