"It just takes time to think things through". @_@;) So, my problem is due to the followings factors. 1) My eyes 2) My usage of the M rangefinder 3) My M6 (rangefinder) 4) My 75 Summilux 5) Limitation of rangefinder ability Well, "much fewer errors with 50 mm at f1" suggests that major contributors are 4) and/or 5). I will do tripod tests with fixed subjects as well as tests with another 75 Summilux if possible. And thanks for the tricks and instructions for rangefinder usage! I read with much interest Erwin's article. With mediocre eyes and in situations demanding f1.4 (low contrast/dim light), onw is allowed to say that focusing with 75mm at f1.4 is difficult if not impossible even with fixed subjects and proper use of the rangefinder. I was surprised to know that 50mm at f1 has much larger latitude, being compatible with my experience. When I complain of focusing problems, my wife tells me exactly what Hans could not help posting! I then tell her, "I am practising Leica-Do". If I devote myself to it, I will possibly be able to enter a realm of VIRTUOSI with Eric and Jim ^_^. If you like, refer to the Photodo site for the meaning of Do (my understanding is a bit different, though) http://www.photodo.com/templates/display.lasso?show=252 75'lux is just misterious as ever! Thanks again. Leicalement, Mikiro Strasbourg
