nhmitchell Posted September 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Perhaps you read this post in another thread: Re: Dlux4 zoom question No, like almost all digicam makers, they didn´t think that far... Still, it is easy to mark the barrels yourself. This is the "preliminary, working marks" I made on my Dlux 3 with just a lead pencil, meaning to fill them in with a silver marker later. Only, I never got around to it, so the lead marks are still what I use. Point is, the middle barrel (the one where I wrote the focal lengths) is the one that rotates when zooming, while the frontmost one (with the single index mark) doesn´t rotate. Both change in extension, so the marks have to be long enough to remain visible all the way. Focussing doesn´t move anything on the outer barrels. Atleast, this is the way the Dlux 3 lens works. I would guess the Dlux 4 is similar. Attached Images __________________ Per elgenper's photos- powered by SmugMug Why can't Leica/Panasonic etch this information on the lens? No reason. This is a great idea! Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
