Early May. From the wonderful time where I shot the better part of three rolls with a lens that I didn't realize was only able to accurately focus at <1m. Lessons learned (I say until I do the exact same thing at a future point with a future lens). These ones are in focus(ish)!
Is the lens defective? I once bought a Leica 135mm 2.8 Elmarit M - the one w the goggles. I was astonished as to how cheap this lens was - from all sellers. Then when I tried to use it I could see why. What a POS - completely unable to get anything in focus.
And that is why ladies and germs, you can get this lens for $300.

The lens is really quite nice...except that I bought it off of buy n sell only to discover that it does not focus accurately on a rangefinder (beyond one meter). Below one meter, it's fine. I'm not the kinda guy to complain to the seller about a slightly bunk lens (it is phenomenal to use on mirrorless), instead I complained to the manufacturer. They told me to send it to their US service dept. I am awaiting its return. Of course, as I purchased it used, I had to foot the bill for all of this...which, is a given.

Mirrorless cameras really have opened up the usability of so many lenses. It why I switched from DSLR to mirrorless - got tired of trying to fine tune lenses…
Anyway, let us know what that 75mm is like when you get it back.
