Hi everyone, I just got my first Leica recently, M11 Monochrom with 11726 35mm f1.4 ASPH. I found out that the focus aid automatic enlargement function wouldn't active under 0.7m, but if I start the focus ring from above 0.7m to under 0.7m, it would carry the enlargement to under 0.7m. I've checked the manual, it didn't mention any restrictions about activating auto-enlargement function under 0.7m. So is it normal? Or I should return the camera/lens for inspection? I know I can set a function button to manually activate it, but it's just silly since I want it to activate automatically. Thanks everyone for the help.

I very much enjoyed shooting with an M6, 35, 50, and 90 summicrons in the late 1990s. I did my own darkroom work as well, didn't enjoy that so much. I gave that all up, switched to digital, bought and sold an x100 multiple times, but ultimately stopped taking pictures, except with my iPhone, which is not any fun. A big birthday and my retirement is coming up quick, and I want to recreate the fun times I had, and I will have time and some cash to spend. Some things I am certain about: I only want to shoot BW I have no interest in video My goal is to make physical prints, not create digital content I am not the kind of person who will obsess at a pixel level, and I am unlikely to look at a print with a magnifying glass (though I still have my loupe from looking at negatives and contact sheets!) The whole process of taking (making) a photo is important to me. I want to do things manually. I think this is what turned me off with the Fuji. If automation is there, I'll use it, even though it doesn't make me happy (similar to having an automatic vs a stick in a car) Most of my pictures will probably be "found landscapes", but of course there will be a mix My thinking is that an M11 Monochrom and 35 and 90 summicron lenses is going to do the trick. I am somewhat tempted by a regular m11, as it is cheaper, but think keeping it simple with Monochrom is the best. Do you all think this sounds like it will work? Any suggestions? Also, what is the simplest, reasonable route from camera to print? Is it really Lightroom, photoshop, and silver efex? Seems pretty complicated compared to the old days. I'll probably need a dedicated printer - are there any especially for BW? or just the usual Epson and Canon models Thanks for your help, David
