Jeff, quite a few members have reported focusing issues with this lens and M8. I too am
one of them. A trip to Solms did not resolve the problem. My sample is perfect wide open
but backfocuses at f2 and beyond. While I can get near accurate focus by experienced twiddling, for critical work I never use it. my cron 35 apsh has never let me down!

Hopefully Kindermann in Canada might be able to fix it.

Advice: Test it at all apertures and varying distance combinations before you part with your
money.

Good luck.
