They were far worse, i.e. unusable, before the first attempt. If your 
Noctilux has worked perfectly with your M8 without adjustment then you were 
lucky, most have not been, even now the Noctilux is perfect on my M9 but not 
on my Monochrom :-(

OH CRAP! :-)

Like I said ..... Click them on and shoot!  If you see something way out of 
line or screwed-up quite badly indicating a real major problem???  Then get 
it fixed!

Until then, it's nothing more than another money maker for Leica and 
screwing us!

And yes I've used a Noctilux f 1.0 since the first one was available in 
Canada around 1970 something? Or close to that. Actually I have the first 
one sold in Canada, made in Canada! Dang and it still works like a dream 
when I need it at f1.0! Just gotta love it! Oh and markings??????? What were 
we talking about????? :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
