Thought I'd share a danger of upgrading to digital - the ability to rapidly test your lenses!
My new (used) M8 focuses very well with my Summicron 50. However, I've noticed that I'm just not pleased with the images from my Summilux 35 (pre-aspheric) on the camera. Yesterday, I did a little test to see what was happening. At ~4' focus distance, it's front focusing by five or six inches! I sent the pics off to DAG, and he agreed that it needs service.
So, my Summilux is on its way to Wisconsin to visit Mr. Goldman. I hope it a short, fruitful visit.
Regards,
Reed
