I’d love to get better at rangefinder focus with higher focal length lenses as I feel using an EVF defeats the purpose and purity of this camera. That’s just a personal feeling. Depending on your eyesight, you can get a small magnifier or a diopter for your rangefinder. I didnt use one for the pictures posted here, but I do have, since, fitted in a diopter (my eyesight is not amazing) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one of the Light Lens Lab 1.4 x viewfinder magnifiers for M (won’t let me paste the URL). They are adjustable - which I hate, so I just taped mine at the proper adjustment. It screws right onto the eyepiece and you’re ready to go! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice - practice - practice! As the golfer Arnold Palmer once said, "It's a funny thing - the more I practice, the luckier I get!" 😁 Plus learning some "tricks of the trade." For example, in the singer shot, I focused on the high-contrast, hard-edged microphone-ball mesh pattern, which was easier to see clearly and align more reliably than flesh and hairs. But which I knew would be almost exactly in the same focus-plane as the centerline of the face. I also: - do a focus self-check just before the performance/event, on a static subject, to find out "Just how is the combination of lens, RF and my eyes working tonight? Right on, or a tendency to back, or front, focus?" I "tune up" my performance ahead of time, the way a guitarist tunes his guitar - the Leica "is my axe, man!" (And, yeah, I'm shooting digital, so can check focus on the spot). - Keep on checking my work throughout the event, to make sure I or the gear are not "drifting" away from peak performance. - pre-focus on a static subject (e.g. microphone on a stand) and then wait for the main subject (in moving around) to align with the pre-focused point. Which is very often a "good moment" as well. - continuously check the two RF windows and the eyepiece for contrast-killing skin-grease smears (fingerprints and nose prints), and keep them all wiped down with a microfiber cloth. (I'm often swapping lenses to a 21, and when I frame through the 21's accessory finder with my right eye, the tip of my nose always plants itself directly into the M's RF eyepiece glass. 🤪) - Bracket the focus across several shots, when possible, with a tiny twist of the focus ring - about one "knurling rib" each way. I do not use continuous advance, but I still shoot a LOT at an unrepeatable event. To rephrase the advice my college photojournalism professor gave us about film 50 years ago - "Electrons are cheap; coming back without a picture is expensive!"

rsolomon Posted November 27, 2024 Share #254 Posted November 27, 2024 In driving my skills and passion I’m ready to explore the 135 APO and just ordered. Looking forward to yet another new perspective. Additionally looking forward to posting in this thread - I have the EVF as I tend to use it occasionally with my 75 so hopefully will have a reasonable focus hit rate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
