3 possible source of chaos in your focusing :
Since it's a 35mm focal length the depth of field is large but the
focus flange distance must be very accurate...
- step 1) use a good quality screw to M adapter (voïgtländer or
leitz) (specially with a wide angle, less important with a tele)
- step 2) verify that your Ultron is mechanically ok with the adapter
on... it's not far off anyway... with another body (try to find
someone with a M)
- step 3) verify the rangefinder adjustment of the bessa...
Leica type rangefinder is very accurate but a bit fragile, contax
mount was far more rugged ;-)
