And now for more #Leica neurosis: I got this Canon LTM 50/1.8 in a job lot last year. It turned up RADDLED with fungus - completely unusable. On Monday night I finally took it apart and thoroughly cleaned everything - it came up lovely, but the focus was way out. Tonight I've sat and cut some shims out of greaseproof paper and tin foil and found the perfect combination so it 100% agrees with the rangefinder in a Leica.

Arduous, but satisfying.
