Sensor alignment is out on the M9!!! (just kidding....:bsmilie::bsmilie
I supposed you need to compare it with another camera or with friend.

under a "controlled" environment, you should be able to eliminate your skills... best to use a focusing chart and an eye piece magnifier to help.
for checking on alignment, it is difficult to know if it is due to the lens or the rangefinder if you only have one camera and one lens. best to have at least another lens to compare to.
but before all of that, just want to confirm that you're checking on your computer screen, and not the read LCD...

i don't have an M9 ...but here's my general troubleshooting :
a) can you set your lens to infinity focal length and shoot a picture ? (is it sharp or blur?)
(it shouldnt be blur)
b) sorry to sound ignorant...is this the first time you're using rangefinder lens?
maybe post a few pictures for more folks to comment.
cheers!

Do you have this issue with your other lenses?
If no, it could be the lens.
Drop by chiif...he should be able to test for you.
He is so busy.... I had to wait for 2.5 hours just to see him instead... and that's pass 10:30pm :bsmilie:

Doctor, Doctor can't you see I'm burning, burning! (Song):bsmilie:
What the heck guys?
Do a controlled examination/experiment with your M9.
- Check your camera and lens for fungus, fog, or any large foreign objects, there shouldn't be any.
- Check the picture enhancement settings on your M9, who knows you've accidentally set your saturation to -2390817 and sharpness to -21019?
- Check your monitor's display resolution and screen size, as well as colour bit depth and etc.
- Finally, do some experimentation with checking for focusing issues or etc.

hiya, im suspecting flare?
I agree using a test chart is the way to go. Print one here: http://focustestchart.com/focus21.pdf
Camera sensor cant be off, most likely your focusing (use magnifier to help), flare (a hood), shake (tripod) or haze, or scratches on your lens (no help :sweat

meaning the RF needs adjustments.. Not necessarily mean you WHOLE M9 is broken..
Bro I presume your M9 and lens is under warranty right? Go back to the dealer you bought from and give them the set to test. They will be the best people to tell you. Otherwise you can meet up with fellow Rfers during meet up session and ask them to test for you. Don't worry too much. M9s don't spoil so easily. On and off all rangefinders will need adjustments and so do the lenses.
