The R 19mm aperture setting goes from f 2.8 to f22.... While the vf brightness diminishes slowly as the aperture size is reduced, the vf is bright enough that I can focus to f16 (easily with focus peaking). and of course with such a small aperture the dof is huge. You can try this yourself in a store, to see what I mean. bottom line...this body and lens, under the conditions I described, with focus peaking in red and jpeg fine bw, is easier to manually focus than M's and R's.... this means that you, if you wish, can shoot RAW, and jpeg fine bw, focus peaking in red at the same time, have a very easy time with manual focus open or stopped down, and have excellent focus simultaneously with RAW files. steve > Aram > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Steve Barbour" <steve.barbour at gmail.com> > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2013 8:33 AM > To: "LRflex" <leicareflex at freelists.org> > Subject: [LRflex] Re: looking down... > >> >> On Dec 9, 2013, at 8:32 AM, Aram Langhans <leica_r8 at hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>> So, what happens as you stop down. does exposure remain constant?
