I sent me back while it was in warrenty and had them set it to specs.
I
am very pleased with it.
Oh, I didn't recall your having done that. Now I feel better about
taking
mine in. It's either the lens, the camera, or me. Hopefully it's not
the
latter!

You could always sell the boat and replae everything with Leica.

My only remaining film camera is a Leica, which I like to take on trips,
because it is relatively small, quiet, and I have three really sharp
lenses for it.

Is there such a thing as a Leica lens that's NOT sharp?

Yes. Had one years ago. Couldn't figure it out.

Turns out that the focusing ring was warping the glass ever so
slightly - like in the micro meter scale.

I had an M5 (?? current rangefinder model around 1971). Women hated it.
It
revealed every pore on their face, every imperfection.

I had a Yashica that was like that - beautiful, crisp images. You
could pick out details that you never would be able to see otherwise.

What ever happened to Yashica anyway?


I dunno. I still see accessories for Yachica/Contax cameras, so there must
still be some cameras out there.
