Really liking the stuff you have been posting lately. Talk about smelling the street. And the look of you color work has a real visual signature to it. Keep up the good work EVERYONE!!!!
^ Allen - thanks for the kind words, which I really appreciate as I've been trying the achieve colors that I like. I've been using the Cobalt-Image profiles that are the subject of another (long) thread here. I feel that they are more accurate than the Adobe profiles, or the Leica M10 profile, and provide a better starting point for processing.
Below is an image that, previously, I've only used in B&W — with the Kodak Portra 800 (Linear) profile by Cobalt-Image, I was finally able to get something in color that I liked. I realize that this particular color image may not be to everyone's taste — and I'm not the greatest whiz at color processing.
Mitch I can always tell it's your work. Big compliment. Having spent time in the far east long time ago your work brings me back. I can almost smell the street vendors food, feel the humidity and hear the trikes.
I made a very slight adjustment to the hex nut inside the body and I think that solved the problem. Focus seems to be right through the RF now. 👍🏽

Not sure if this is your first RF experience or not, but what I would do is to place the camera on a tripod, focus on a subject (static and with a clean background) using the RF and verify focus using the live view. That should eliminate couple of mechanical issues such as RF misalignment or lens issues. If the RF is aligned and live view suggests the focus is not where it should be, its probably misalignment. I had some trouble when I first got my M9 with user error, though I got the hang of it rather quickly.

Wow, glad it worked out for you. Just check and verify using other lenses too.
Some more using the Q from the small, beautiful town of Henningsvær, Norway.
