jonoslack Posted December 18, 2016 Share #441 Posted December 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I also find that if I focus at an aperture other than the one I want to take the shot at, I forget to change it - did this too often with R lenses on Canon dSLRs too.But why would you do that on a T or an SL (with R lenses or M lenses)- there's really no point - Of course it was vital on an SLR with a mirror - but it's simply not necessary with a good EVF - to the extent that for a while I didn't understand what people were talking about. I ALWAYS focus at the Aperture I'm going to take the picture at - it has the added bonus of getting over the problems with focus shift . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Hi jonoslack, Take a look here Leica M 10. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pgk Posted December 18, 2016 Share #442 Posted December 18, 2016 But why would you do that on a T or an SL (with R lenses or M lenses)- there's really no point - Of course it was vital on an SLR with a mirror - but it's simply not necessary with a good EVF - to the extent that for a while I didn't understand what people were talking about. I ALWAYS focus at the Aperture I'm going to take the picture at - it has the added bonus of getting over the problems with focus shift . . . I always focus wide-open if I'm viewing through the lens. Precise point of focus is of paramount importance as far as I am concerned. Probably one of the reasons that I like RF photography so much (I almost invariably shoot manual exposure too ). Which simply goes to prove that we all have different priorities and ways of working, nothing more, and thus that our cameras must suit our ways of working I suppose. [Also, being quite honest about it, I really can't get on with viewing the world electronically either, and I don't like focussing on an evf much].

Well, Precise focus is paramount to me as well - isn't it to everyone? And I mostly shoot wide open anyway - I prefer a rangefinder with M lenses, but I think a good EVF is excellent for focusing . . But it does take practice . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted December 18, 2016 Share #444 Posted December 18, 2016 Jono, please put us out of our misery. Consider it charity work. Half of us want to know the specifications. The other half just want this thread to end ;-) Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imants Posted December 18, 2016 Share #447 Posted December 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Choices too many choices it seems that as soon as Leica extended its range of cameras people all of a sudden find focusing a difficult and complex task. I really can't get on with viewing the world electronically either So you would prefer to print out the content this thread on paper instead of reading on a electronic device ...................

IkarusJohn Posted December 18, 2016 Share #450 Posted December 18, 2016 I work all day on computers. But, before I send a document out, I always print it; and I always find a formatting error or spelling mistake in the hard copy I didn't spot on screen. I first started drafting onscreen 26 years ago, when the web was still for file transfer and email was in its infancy (we used WordPerfect Office - it was fantastic to be able to go into other peoples InBoxes and withdraw emails you wanted to change!).

reynoldsyoung Posted December 19, 2016 Share #453 Posted December 19, 2016 No chance the M10 has autofocus....for us optically challenged? Love my Q!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted December 19, 2016 Share #454 Posted December 19, 2016 No chance the M10 has autofocus....for us optically challenged? Love my Q!! None whatsoever. It's a rangefinder camera. It's in the original German name :Messsucher (literal translation: Measuring search?). As there's no means of communication between the camera and the lens (other than for exif information), it will always be a manually focused camera. That's why so many people love them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted December 19, 2016 Share #457 Posted December 19, 2016 Funny that for Leica lenses one has to buy a S**y body to do AF actually. http://techartpro.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted December 19, 2016 Share #458 Posted December 19, 2016 Funny that for Leica lenses one has to buy a S**y body to do AF actually. http://techartpro.com And many people think the best way to manually focus an M lens is on an SL body.

pico Posted December 19, 2016 Share #459 Posted December 19, 2016 Apparently a recent study showed that we learn better from reading hard copy - could have some bearing? It might be true if 'we' means persons of our generation. It is daunting to consider that middle-class youth have read little hard copy. In the USA something like 70% of the colleges use electronic textbooks, and the rest plan to follow - for better or worse. I have too much to say about this for a post, so I'll leave it at that.

pgk Posted December 19, 2016 Share #460 Posted December 19, 2016 It might be true if 'we' means persons of our generation. If you search you will see that there are a variety of studies some of which have been specifically aimed a schools. Its not a generational thing.
