salvaz Posted April 20, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted April 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would like to know if anyone uses the EVF2 with their M and the 75 or 90 Crons? Does this help with focusing, especially at f/2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Hi salvaz, Take a look here Using the EVF 2 with the 75 or 90 Crons. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Â I use the Evf2 regularly with the 75. It is very helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 20, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted April 20, 2014 Very useful with 90 at f2 , more precise but not as quick as the RF; with 75 I find the EVF useful not so much for focusing (but have a Summarit) , but appreciate it for another reason : I have never liked the coexistence of 50 and 75 frames.... they are too next one to the other and have the feel of "dirty VF".

salvaz Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks, that is a great point regarding the 75mm frame lines. I did find the 75mm lines confusing while trying the the lens at the LA Leica store. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find the 75mm lines confusing while trying the the lens at the LA Leica store. Â Yes... the logical "couples" in ergonomic/visual terms would be 28/75 35/90 50/135... but there is a long (glorious) story behind... and a modification would cause high cries in the Leica users world, with their beloved old glasses (me included).

Guest Posted April 21, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted April 21, 2014 With the M8 it was possible to previsualize a square crop with the frames of the 24/35 and 50/75. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted April 21, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted April 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Live view is best for subjects that do not move. Field size is correct as is focus and what is in/out of focus.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 21, 2014 Share #8 Â Posted April 21, 2014 Agree 100%: in this sense, is really a good complement to VF/RF : one doesn't have the expectation that M IS an EVIL camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

satureyes Posted April 21, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted April 21, 2014 Yes for me too. Slower but useful for framing and also in low light. The shutter lag is infuriating though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted May 7, 2014 Share #12 Â Posted May 7, 2014 DoF is very thin at f/2 especially with the 90 so any help is welcome to focus at full aperture. The EVF is useless on moving subjects though. I don't use it much personally as the M240's RF is very accurate and i prefer using a 1.25x magnifier if need be. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted May 10, 2014 Share #13 Â Posted May 10, 2014 No, for me, too slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlindstrom Posted May 10, 2014 Share #14  Posted May 10, 2014 I reckon it's at best for accurate focus on static subjects and for wides with zone focus, so you can frame correctly. Fast focusing with it is a no-go.  //Juha   Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
