fotografr Posted April 25, 2014 Share #21 Posted April 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I spent an hour at the LA Leica Store with the T in hand. I am posting in this thread because I have to say I was really impressed with the T's ease of focusing through the EVF with M lenses. It was ... simple. I did not need any focus peeking or assist. Would you mind discussing this a bit more. Using the Visoflex, how is correct focus indicated? The only reason I would buy this camera is to use my M lenses on it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted April 25, 2014 Share #22 Posted April 25, 2014 I've paid for some stupid things over the years, but I can't ever see myself paying $600 US for an adapter - especially since I only have one coded lens. Actually, they are listed at $395 US. It's the Visoflex that runs just under $600. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhuff Posted April 25, 2014 Share #23 Posted April 25, 2014 Would you mind discussing this a bit more. Using the Visoflex, how is correct focus indicated? The only reason I would buy this camera is to use my M lenses on it. Sure - the focus is simply evident visually. As you move the focus ring on the lens, the image through the EVF moves in and out of focus. With just a bit of practice, I was able to discern when I had obtained sharp focus in the EVF. Precisely the same as using an SLR with manual focus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted April 25, 2014 Share #24 Posted April 25, 2014 Personally I like the design...what is the advantage of a hinged door? My original comment referred not to the design but my surprise at Leica wanting to duplicate stock levels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraf Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted April 25, 2014 Sure - the focus is simply evident visually.

Precisely the same as using an SLR with manual focus. I assume this is much easier than with the EVF2 (with focus peaking off), because the Typ 020 EVF for the T is much higher res?

Dhuff Posted April 26, 2014 Share #26 Posted April 26, 2014 That's how I discerned it. Very crisp. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
