    • ja, das mit den augen ist so eine sache... auch beim lesen der überschriften wäre oft ein visoflex oder ähnliches gut um dann nicht im apo 50 teil ganze 85mm daneben zu liegen...😉 meint der andreas völlig respektlos....
    • Phil, great photo, and yes, Hitchcock was there too....  "airport-scanned"--  you're touching on a point that's really bothering me right now: film and long-distance travel. Your images may look good, but apparently there have been or are issues? I'm planning to travel to Japan in May and will have to pass through at least two scanners: Frankfurt and Tokyo... With the increasing reports, there seems to be a particular risk for fast films — that's why I've already abandoned my original plans to pack an MP, a Rolleiflex, along with plenty of P 400, P800, and a few HP5 films, and switched to P160 and FP4+. From what I understand now, your FP4 films have also suffered? That would indeed be frustrating for your fantastic photos...
    • During my brief photography session today using the M9-P camera and the 35mm Nokton lens, I learned some unexpected things. Firstly, it's important to be careful where you place your fingers because a fingerprint on the viewfinder can make it impossible to focus when taking pictures against bright light. Secondly, I discovered that light is measured diffusely, which means that the traditional practice of opening up a stop and a half for backlit subjects is still legit. No spot metering! Lastly, I found that when taking vertical shots in low light, it's best to tuck your elbows against the chest to ensure there's enough light for the frame and focus window. This does not feel totally hopeless. My TRI-X days helped me a lot with this effort.

    • I use LV for focusing my  APO-Telyt-R 180 f/3.4 (no RF coupling).  I know it's not an EVF, maybe better, maybe worse. I find the focus peaking a bit cludgy compared to the RF.  This is always on a tripod. The whole thing of tapping to zoom to the area you want in focus, open lens wide, focus, reset to whatever f/stop you are shooting, zoom out to check composition, and finally click.  You can actually do this with something that might move?  I'm imagine that involves twiddling the thumbwheel and 4 way selector when done through an EVF but still a fraught process. I think if this the process you want, other makers will give to you already and Leica will as well with SL/Q cameras.  Just use an autofocus system.  No M lenses for you! No wonder I see posts about "missed shots."
