Nice series of photos! The 50 Summilux, 50 Summicron APO AA, and the 35mm Summilux FLE are my three favourite lenses on the M246. I also like the orange filter the best, use it quite often.

Rainy day in Sheffield. M246/50 APO AA

I don't think it would be nearly as noticeable shooting film, it seems to be more profound on digital. My 50 ZM Sonnar was fine on my analog M's, but shift was certainly noticeable on my M240/246. I had to either adjust the focus slightly, or lean in about an inch, which I found easier.

A rangefinder has no idea at what aperture you've focused at, so stopping the lens down makes no difference to the eye, unlike live view. It all depends on what aperture the lens was calibrated at for precise focus. Usually wide open, to f2.8, so shift would occur between f4/5.6.
