Well the new issue I have now is that the camera is not turning on. The battery in in charger for few hrs now but no response from camera. Its just not a good start is what i am feeling. Thank you guys for your replies. I appreciate it very much.
Is there any other way to charge battery then the charger. I am not sure if battery is charging now.
I feel for your frustrations! With regards, to your focus, with LV you should be able to focus accurately regardless of the RF/lens cam calibration issues. I suspect you 50 Lux may not be in sync, and this generally can be fixed by local Leica repair centers that have a lens collimator. The turn around here is usually a few days, and the calibrations can then be kept by your local repair centre for any future issues.
First they will need to check whether the M240 is calibrated properly and see whether the calibration is within tolerance. This is a quick check, and can be done on the same day.
Generally with any fast lenses, I would first check the MFD and see what forward or backward bias there was wide open, and then stopped down at different f stops. Quite often with fast lenses, there will be a compromise, where MFD where wide open there may be a back focus bias, but still on the cusp of still being in focus. Then as you stop down, there maybe a forward bias, but so long as it is focus still it is fine. Then I check infinity, as often the lens may need tweaking if the infinity does not correspond to your lens stop. Also then I check mid focusing distances, as this is where the linearity of calibrations vary. I have found on average, I would need to have my 50 Nocti f/1.0, 75 Lux and 50 Lux Asph rechecked about every 18 months after about 4 overseas trips. Generally the 50 Lux Asph cam is very accurately calibrated to the M240, and the lens only requires minor tweaking.
From your shots, there is a definite issue with calibration. First, as already suggested, see whether you have 50 Lux shots accurately in focus via LV/EVF. This I have used a number of times when my lenses/M240 have gone off calibration while travelling.
I would not be too overly concerned, normally the repairs can be quick Good luck!!
