I'm only asking as I just don't have time right now to send the lens to Leica, I need a "quick fix" I can send them the lens later on.. IDEAS?Adam, in my experience, adjusting focus on lenses needs direct feedback to the technician and may require several attempts to fine tune it. That is why it is better to do it at a local skilled technician. My 85 Sonnar came back from Zeiss worse than before, and the local technician adjusted it perfecty in a couple of days. If you have any plans to come to Bangkok, I will take you to my technician. I have no idea who does this in Singapore.
Thanks Edward, I may actually take you up on your offer if I can't find a tech here (as I might be in BKK soon). Although I have a feeling there are a few fellows here that would probably know how to adjust the lens. Having digital rangefinders and live view and all that jazz sure does make it easier to adjust I'm sure

Quick question.. One of my lenses is back focusing on both my M240 bodies and a friends M240 body, and I've sent it to Leica, but they just sent it back unfixed.. Is there a way I can quickly fix it myself, or is it something that can easily be done by a local non-leica technician?I'm only asking as I just don't have time right now to send the lens to Leica, I need a "quick fix" I can send them the lens later on.. IDEAS?

Phil, nice colorful shots.
Allen, no. 2 is just awesome!
Adam, you should definitely let me know when you're in BKK.
Joakim, nice to see you! You should learn to shoot with your right eye so that we can see your face

Lovely shots everyone!!! Adam, you should post more of your work!
So, what is everyone using these days for a camera bag? I have a large bag for my whole kit, but want something small for just a body/lens to carry around daily...

I have just bought a Domke F-8 for exactly the same purpose that you describe Katie. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it.
PS: I also got the F-6 for 1 body, 4 lenses and lots of other stuffs to carry when I travel. Also excellent.

I use this. I think I posted this before. It's a WWII USMC officers musette bag
Foam in hte bottom with a cut out for the camera. Could cut out a couple of places for more lenses or another body if need be. I love it. Nobody suspects a camera inside.

I use the Ona Bowery as a small bag....M body plus 2-3 lenses. Ona makes a variety of bags that might suit. Billingham also has some nice bags.

I like the leather truffle bowery... But already have two lovely leather handbags that hold the same volume. I wonder if I couldn't just add an insert to one of them...

Ron, just love those high contrast graphic images!!!
Edward, great street work, and excellent to see your B&W images too. I really like the conversions to B&W with the M240.
Allen, amazing street work! I continue to be amazed by your images
Nico, wonderful shots!
Charlie, just love images of the old "beast". Very nice series.
Phil, really nice work.
Joakim, nice selfie
Adam, beautifully captured portrait! With regards to the calibration of M lenses, I would if possible find a Camera repair center that specializes in lens repairs. In Melbourne, we have the Camera Clinic, which is also authorized for Leica repair, and they will turn around lens calibrations where possible in about 5 days. They repair all makes of cameras and lenses, so they do have a very sophisticated lab setup. With back focusing where the lens was in calibration before, and assuming the M240 is fine, this usually is a relatively minor adjustment without the need to go back to Solms. To be honest, I have "night mares" about sending equipment back to Solms, as it takes so long, and with my new 50 Lux, it was sent back 3 times!!! Fortunately they loaned a 50 Lux for 6 months, until they fixed the issue.
Katie, I have couple Domke F10D bags, that look very old, and keep my presence low key when traveling. Of course I only take one with me, but I make sure I have really good lens pouches so it protects the lenses from any bumps.

Edward - really liking your B&W's lately...
Charlie - such beautiful country where you live.
Phil - what a funny set. What variety!
Allen - very nice! #4 and 5 are really good. I like how you (at times) incorporate bold street lines into some of your shots. It adds a great amount of tension. Do you typically shoot in the morning?
Joakim - nice selfie!
BTW - has anyone seen Finding Vivian Maier? I went to see it tonight and absolutely loved it. Such a quirky person but amazing street work.

Thanks Gary,
Seems like that lately LoL. Usually just whenever I can find the time to get out. I like early or late. Not much for mid-day, though if it's overcast I'll take it.
And yes I really liked it to. What a talent.
