Jay Coleman - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Barry Dinan Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 4:21 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] anyone using 24mm To anyone using 24mm for your M6: I'm wondering if you have ever experienced a problem with composition that compares to one I have recently experienced? I recently composed a shot in the cabin of a small fishing boat. I framed the shot using the clip on viewfinder. The skipper was in the foreground looking through the cabin window. Through the window was another boat which I centered up in the window which the skipper was looking through. However, when the contacts were developed I found to my surprise that the boat seen through the window in the background was not centered in the window as I had composed it. The boat was in fact mostly blocked out by the skipper who was in the foreground. i.e. I seem to have experienced a problem when composing with the 24mm on the new M6 ttl. What's in the clip on viewfinder is not always what's on the neg! I'm quite worried about this and I will be running some tests on this. It seems that the foreground can eclipse the background....... I should add that the camera was also held 'sideways' for this shot.
