Guy, here's how to check focussing accuracy of an M lens and rangefinder.
- remove the back, reinstall the base.
- put camera on tripod up high, pointed at the ground.
- lay an R system ground glass screen on the guide rails
- focus on a business card on the floor or something similar
- compare focus between rangefinder and lens
Oops - no back to remove with an M8! Hey, it's even easier.
- mount camera on tripod.
- focus on something with detail, up close and later far away
- compare rangefinder focus with focus as seen on rear screen or computer screen.
- too easy. Yikes, there's another digital advantage!
Some M users match lenses to bodies. Count up how many lenses you have and get that many M8s and a spare.
Leica will thank you.
