rosuna Posted July 18, 2012 Share #81 Â Posted July 18, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) These are all issues of technique and experience. After 40+ years of using Ms I still say they are in your control. I do both macro and 200mm with my M9 (and Visoflex - which is true "live view"). You deal with focus shift by compensating the image overlap - not blindly accepting the coincident point. Â Technique (workarounds) and experience allow a better guessing, a higher rate of success in the trial and error process. Â I find the focus shift problems annoying. I fail many shots, after years of experience. The focus mechanism is of no help. I focus blind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC Doppel Posted July 18, 2012 Share #82  Posted July 18, 2012 AF is like those annoying flappy paddle gearboxes .....  They have got better and better but I want to nail the heal and toe, I want to push the gear lever and release the clutch, and the throttle timing.  Even if the flappy paddle gets it right more often than me. When I nail it add a little more aggression with the stab of the throttle, just beat the syncros and get a dab of flame out the back because I have purposely overfuelled at high rpm low throttle settings I am happy  Anyone feel the need to twist the lens ?!

lct Posted July 18, 2012 Share #83 Â Posted July 18, 2012 It is just a matter of refraining from buying focus shifting lenses (none of my 30+ Leica lenses suffer from that) and from asking rangefinders to be accurate out of their accuracy range that's all. I don't plan to use the possible EVF of the possible M10 for anything else than macro and telephoto personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted July 18, 2012 Share #84 Â Posted July 18, 2012 I think it is not an M10. Rather it is the new autofocus, external EVF camera made to look like an M to confuse the crowd. The entire top part of the camera with a rangefinder mock-up seems to be a camouflage, probably to hide a pop-up flash, maybe. The compact lens seems interesting.

Â Leica never included a public warning about that "characteristic" in several of their lenses, including the 35mm Summilux ASPH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted July 18, 2012 Share #86 Â Posted July 18, 2012 No current Leica lens is significantly affected by focus shift AFAIK but i may be wrong. Previous ones were made for film and did not pose any problem then. BTW i forgot to say that i have one lens with focus shift, my dear old Summicron 35/2 v4 that i bought in the eighties. Pity i cannot sue Leica because of time bar! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity i cannot sue Leica because of time bar! Â What's interesting is that I have a Lux 35 asph v1, which is supposedly a victim of focus shift. I know these lenses all must have it--but I have not noticed this problem once in use during the lens' first four months in my possession. Not once--and I have shot at the normally problematic focal lengths (i.e., 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6). Hmmmm ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
