>From my front yard. My mother-in-law's yartsite (marking of the day someone
died) was four years ago today. Her name was Lillian. Unfortunately she
hated lilies, but she presented me with this today.

This was taken with the noctilux. As you can see, the front of the flower
(where I focused) is out of focus. When I bought the lens and the M9, the
dealer sent the nocti in for coding and CLA. I asked the dealer's salesman
to please send my new M in with the lens so that they could be matched. He
insisted it wasn't necessary because if my new M was checked at the factory
before shipping, it would perfectly match the M they were going to test the
Nocti on. Twice I insisted; twice he said it wasn't necessary. He checked
it before shipping it to me (after it was in NJ for 6 weeks) and said it
was perfect.

Obviously it's not. He is sending me a loaner M and 50 summicron while he
sends my M and Nocti, again, to NJ. Also giving me attitude unfortunately.
Oh well. Hopefully it will return in 6 weeks and with a happy ending...
