Hi. I love the one of the Pieta but with all due respect, I guess it's because it is the Pieta. How can you do that when you are only 23 years old?

It was warm and sunny today with temps near 40F so went for a stroll in West Ridge Nature Preserve with the M9-P and M-Hexanon 28. First time using this lens.

Nice images, Ayas. The M-Hexanon 28 is very nice lens and works well with M8/M9 bodies. I enjoy using mine very much.

I have a number of M-Hexanon lenses (28/2.8, 35/2, 50/2, 50/1.2, 90/2.8) that I was hoping to use on my M10-P but have been disappointed to find that I cannot achieve accurate rangefinder focus with them. When I focus with the rangefinder then check with the Visoflex (and vice-versa) there is always a discrepancy. The EVF-focused images are sharper than the rangefinder-focused ones. On the other hand, I've been able to achieve accurate focus with all the Zeiss ZM and Voigtlander lenses I own. I know that Hexanon-M lens compatibility on Leica bodies is highly controversial but am interested to find that two members are happy with the results they're getting with the M-Hexanon 28. I notice that the photos Ayas posted were taken at f/11 and wonder if this masks any focusing incompatibility?

Thank you very much
My first impressions are very good. I intentionally shot into the sun and found the flare resistance to be excellent.
It does, however, require focus adjustment. How was your copy? Did it need to be adjusted?

I intentionally shot at f/11 to mask focus discrepancy. I took some initial shots wide open with the lens set to infinity and I could see they weren't in focus - so it's not focusing correctly at infinity.
The last shot is where I focused wide open on the right totem pole thing. As you can see it is severely back focused. I decided to just set the aperture to f/11 and use hyperfocal focusing, with infinity at the right f/11 mark and ~4ft at the left f/11 mark. It seemed to work out okay, but infinity was still a bit off. Not sure if this is even the right way to do it as I'm still learning how to zone focus with a rangefinder.
Few more shots from yesterday.
*First two shots are JPEGs set to Black and White in camera, with only the exposure decreased in the first shot. First color shot only shadows and highlights adjusted.*

Far be it from me to pose as an expert on zone/hyperfocal focusing with a rangefinder and, if anything I suggest is inaccurate, I genuinely look forward to being corrected.
However, my understanding is that the depth of field marks on lenses designed for film cameras are optimistic with digital cameras to say the least. The most common advice seems to be to use the DoF marks one stop wider than the aperture you're actually using i.e. the f/8 marks when you're shooting at f/11. I think that is still optimistic and would use the f/5.6 marks if I was shooting at f/11.
The other problem is that, as you've already discovered, the infinity mark on the lens is not accurate. So I guess I'd want to shoot a series of tests to determine where infinity actually is on the M-Hexanon 28 and then to align that point with the right f/8 (or f/5.6) mark, assuming a working aperture of f/11.

Indeed.
The most common advice seems to be to use the DoF marks one stop wider than the aperture you're actually using i.e. the f/8 marks when you're shooting at f/11. I think that is still optimistic and would use the f/5.6 marks if I was shooting at f/11.
So do I
I'm using hyperfocal focusing a lot less with my digital M than I did with the film M.
I remember shooting a wide-angle with a 10 Mpix Leica DMR and discovering that even a f/8, DOF is different enough in digital so that you cannot rely on it like we did before.

Of the six M-Hexanon lenses that I have, two needed to be adjusted for focus (50/1.2 and 90/2.8). I am very happy with my 28/2.8. I always felt the Konica M-Hexanon lenses are undervalued.

They are indeed very good lenses but the problem is sometimes maintenance. I had a Konica 60mm/1.2 (ok, not a M but a L-mount) and found no way to have it adjusted in France for instance.
