If you have a ?spherical? correction you could use those srew in types or is it ?planar? apart from all the other excellent advice for me the rapidwinder helped tremendously as well together with a 1.25 telescope in the ocular(is that a word?). You see i have a very strong (at long distance) left eye and a -1/4 right but my right eye can not be corrected with a screw in type lens so for moving things it,s great ,for me ,to be able to keep looking and focusing especially in dim light. I,m still not really good at it but improving also on a really slow lens the arc the focusing ring turns through is large so i find that some sort of device to receive feedback on its position like a focusing tab makes life easier as well. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelvin" <kelvinlee@pacific.net.sg> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 9:31 AM Subject: [Leica] Leica focusing...HELP! > RF cameras are best for lenses 50mm and wider, where you can rely on > hyperfocus.
