When light get low enough that even an M is having trouble you have to find an edge to focus on. With the human eye the best edge is the transition from the white of the eye to the eyelid; or if you are close enough the iris to the white of the eye. If you rotate the camera so that line moves on the short axis of the rangefinder patch then focusing will be much improved. The other post also offered a good suggestion. When your focus is within a few inches of correct, sometimes it is easier to move your body in or out a fraction to bring the subject into correct focus.

I suppose someone will say, "Yup this is the LUG." So here's the Noctilux/Summilux focussing question again: - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
