Thanks guys, I've got another idea how to "fix" the lens but it's pretty barbaric considering beauty of Leica lenses. I would like to avoid sending it to Germany since that could cost me a pretty penny - it would be my last bastion of defence. I think I will pay a visit to Richard Caplan tomorrow, test a few lenses and then try to understand what's going on. BTW. I have 7artisans 50/1.1 but since it's user adjustable it's not a great reference point I think.

What about having other lenses mounted on the camera then? Will they focus well on it? I've calibrated RF myself to perfectly fit summicron but I'm afraid that when I will get more lenses for it focus will be knackered

That’s correct

That's 35mm Summicron ASPH first version (square hood)

Hey guys, I've recently acquired a lens that doesn't seem to focus properly at infinity. When you turn the focusing tab all the way to infinity pictures are coming out not completely sharp. I've checked it with LV and it reaches infinity just shy 2mm before lens marking. Is that normal?

Thanks for the replies guys! I will check out all the websites that you recommended, also I will send you pm Per P.

Oh, being honest I've been around some camera stores in London being new to this system. And few photographers told me that I overpaid for it (I paid 1550) and that made me think. BTW I'm after black one

Hey guys, that's my first post here. I've been reading this forum quietly for quite a while and finally decided to reveal myself, since I need your help as I failed on my search for a good copy of this lens. I've got one on my right now but due to issues with it, it will have to go back to seller - focus ring sticks at infinity and aperture ring is quite loose. Anyway, I struggle to find this lens in reasonable price. I think that I went through whole internet in search for one in decent price but I failed - and it's been going like that for three weeks now, I never experienced something like this with any other piece of equipment. Could you please help me out? I'm based in UK, so whole Europe is fine. Thanks!
