I used SLRs for 21 years, so when I switched to Leica M
I expected "a learning curve". Didn't happen that way,
I was friends with the rangefinder from day one -- with
one exception: There is a problem for me focusing and
seeing the brightlines in the vertical format, I think
partly because I don't hold it like in the instruction
manual, but the other way round.
(OK, I have missed with the rangefinder, couple of
months ago I was photographing vines growing on a
grid. They were out of focus, but the wall behind
in, so probably I lined up the wrong vertical
components of the grid in the finder. But this is
an one time occurrence.)
