All of this focus problem discussion has me nervous. Are you folks saying 
that the body to lens cam interface arrangement needs
adjustment? Or the rangefinder is adjusted? Is the issue always in fact 
there, but only noticeable where there is extremely shallow
DoF? Would not any adjustment of the body then degrade the accuracy with 
other lenses?
I looked at this when first trying the 50 summilux asph. I certainly miss 
focused when I didn't expect to. (this is wide open or
nearly so and within 2 meters, so DoF WAS narrow)The zone of acceptable 
focus in my instance seems more forward of the focus point
than I expected. However careful measurement from film plane shows the 
rangefinder and lens in exact agreement at 1 meter and
infinity. Shots with a focus test chart also appear correct.

Cheers, the narrowly focused Hoppy

No.  The body worked perfectly on anything I threw on it, after Sherry 
worked her wonders......   Before, stuff was out of focus
with the 75 Lux, no matter what I did.

To be fair, the other lenses were the 50 Lux, 35 Lux, etc.  Nothing like a 
90 AA or 135/3.4 at that time that might have shown some
issues......
