Maybe that something they could fix on the M11P : a microswitch or optical encoder that turns on an indication in the OVF when the RF cam has reached the end of it’s travel. For now it does need a careful eye to spot when the optical RF patch stops moving with focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn't really be a big problem. Close focus only applies when one is close to the subject. In my case, I have a good feel as to where 0.7m should be. On a Voigtlander, I first adjust the ring to 0.7m, and if I am too close, I just move slightly back until there is movement in the rangefinder patch and I can focus. Food photography is a good way to practice. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdahab Posted October 1, 2022 Share #12 Â Posted October 1, 2022 I have the apo-cron, and I'll say it's very, very unlikely that you'll "accidentally" be in the non-RF part of the focusing area without realizing it, in practical use. The reason is the focus tab. If you're going so fast that you blow through the detente, your tab is likely going to be in a location that you very quickly just "sense" is wrong for the ovf. And if you're going slowly enough you'd only be just past the detente, you feel the detente. And the detente is very precisely at the .7m mark, so no issues there. This is much better than the cron v5/v6, which actually focus to about .65m with RF coupling to .7m. The RF would stop moving a few degrees before MFD. *That* drove me nuts, because you couldn't just slam the tab to min focus distance and then move your body for focus. Honestly, it was the biggest (only?) flaw in the cron. If I hadn't gotten the APO when I did (shear dumb luck), I would 100% have gotten this new lux now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m on the fence between the close focus Lux and Cron. Would you rather have the Lux? The Cron is definitely the more behaved lens but I’m not sold on the way the images look. I have the 50 APO and absolutely love the way the images come out, but the 35 APO… meh. Time will tell but I am liking the Lux.  I wish there was some way the implement the close focus for a lot of us who still shoot a lot of film. Seems like a wasted feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bunting Posted October 3, 2022 Share #17  Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Is this thread only for images taken at less than 0.7 meters, or images taken with the lens generally?
