When I had my M-E(M9) I had great difficulty focusing it wide open - from new. When Leica returned it after the sensor replacement (they also do a rf adjustment) I had no issues focusing wide open.
What this tells me is that sanmich's rf may be slightly off - which is why he has issues focusing wide open. Like Allen, I have none, and it seems the RF is more accurate on my M240 than my old M-E because there has never been an issue and nothing has drifted.

I have "upgraded" from the 1.1 to the 1.2.
For strictly RF focus, my 1.1 had too much focus shift to be usable for me. I guess on a film body your focal plane is a bit more forgiving but I was using digital and I was consistently missing focus. The 50 1.2 had no such issues for me and it was a dream to use.
Also, the physical length of the the lenses made a difference to me when it comes to fitting in my bag. (the 1.1 was almost 1cm longer!)
I have since swapped it for the 40mm F1.2 and I'm loving that one even more! Slightly shorter, tack sharp and MFD to 50cm if needed!
