My Nokton 35mm f1.2 focuses past infinity, on my M8.
But focus seems to be correct.
I tried three other 35mm lenses on my M8, and they focus fine at infinity.
So, the fault is with the Nokton. Annoying.
Do your Nokton 35/1.2's do this?

I believe I have the same thing with my Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm f2.5 ..
It also tends to go quite a bit past infinite (i think, i have only recently got the lens and haven't use it much, so i'm not 100% sure)

"...focuses past infinity..."
"But focus seems to be correct"
Yo mean there actually IS something beyond infinity
Sorry for this useless contribution...
And now back to your normal program...

assuming the going past infinity doesn't change anything up close, it might be a feature.
do some focus bracket testing, and see if it's sharpest at infinity based on VF/RF, scale barrel mark, and fully rotated past where you'd expect it to stop.
Use the sharpest setting on the barrel (maybe need a sharpie or tape here) for true infinity focus position, and if you can go further, you get a kind of soft focus feature.

Okay, I spent an afternoon with a bag of M lenses, my M8 and the Nokton 35mm f1.2, and a 2 mm Allen wrench.
Seems like my M8 was a touch out of alignment at infinity.
It is now adjusted, and the Nokton 35/1.2 is spot-on at infinity.
Here is an earlier shot from the 35/1.2

well, thanks vick!
i'm home today, laid up with a bad back and barely moving but i did manage to adjust my h & v alignment and it's looking pretty good.
now, if i could only walk upright and carry a camera at the same time...
