Hasn't that always been the case with M digitals? The maximum zoom on the playback, doesn't reflect focus accurately.

 

Need to check at zoom, but -1 enlargement.

For what it's worth, the Fuji is not so good with adapted Leica M lenses on it either--  as compared to just using native Fuji lenses where the results are stellar.

I found that Leica M lenses of wider than 50mm focal length do no act well on non-Leica digital bodies. My experience was only with Sony A7R and Nex5 (the latter in fact was better) bodies so things may have changed since. Leica digital bodies must do a lot of in-body processing to overcome the issues with M lenses (hence the need to have lists of lenses as presets) which is absent in non-Leica hardware.

No, it is not so much the processing as the sensor design.
