hi,

i have a 50 summicron (the last version without the built in hood) on my mp.
from time to time i recognized photos taken with focus set to infinity look kind of unsharp.

i had it serviced by leica just a few weeks ago because i couldn't focus to infinity - just could not turn the focus ring enough. they changed the focus-gear and two lenses (everything but cheap).

last weekend i took some test-shots because most infinity-photos still looked slightly unsharp.
so i compared the 90 summicron and the 50 summicron.
both were focused on the antenna of the building, but with the 50 summicron i still wasn't able to get the viewfinder-images perfectly covered - no problem with the 90.

below you will find the whole "test-scenery" and the corresponding 100%-crop - starting with the 50 summicron.
both photos were taken with 1/1000 at f5.6. the film was fuji sensia 100.
scanned with a nikon coolscan V at 4000dpi without any corrections. ICE was switched off. no photoshop-corrections at all - just cropping and saving.

thanks for your help
