The focusing screen on the 10D is not as good for manual focusing as that in the R8 but I get along OK with my 280 wide open. My understanding re the focus problems with some 10Ds was to do with autofocus only and could be adjusted out, mine has been no problem anyway FWIW. My only problem with the Leica R lenses on the 10D is stop down metering so I use the 80 and 280 wide open on stopped down 1 stop or the 100 on a tripod. cheers Frank > from: Phong <phong@doan-ltd.com> > date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 14:25:11 > to: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > subject: RE: [Leica] Leica R / Canon Digital > > Helo Howard, > > Sorry to hear of your focus trouble with the Canon 10D; > while I have heard of a front-focus problem on certain > 10D's, I have thought that was a deficiency in the > auto-focusing mechanism of those units, and I have > always attributed any misfocus to my poor manual > focusing technique on the 10D with a focusing screen > not designed for that purpose. > > - Phong > > > Howard Cummer wrote: > > > > Hi Tina, My 19 R and 28 R focus okay on the Canon D60 (except for my > > user error) but on the 10D which I briefly had I think the focussing > > was less accurate because of the front focussing of the camera body. > > That's why I took it back.
