But I'm sure others will have better solutions for you :-) Keep us posted Amities Philippe Tous vos emails en 1 clic avec l'application SFR Mail sur iPhone et Android - En savoir plus. ======================================== Message du : 29/10/2013 19:19 De : "Tina Manley " <images at comporium.net> A : MUGers at yahoogroups.com, "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org>, "paw" <paw at micapeak.com>, "seephoto" <seephoto at micapeak.com>, "digitalusersgroup" <digitalusersgroup at yahoogroups.com> Copie ? : Sujet : [Leica] Eyes PESO: I have an appt with the eye doctor tomorrow because my glasses have quit working! At least, I'm having more and more problems focusing the camera, reading road signs, seeing the television. I'm sure it's part of getting older but I do have some questions for him. My glasses are bifocals but I take them off to read and eat. If I used single focal glasses would it help to focus a rangefinder? I can focus my DSLR (Leica 9 with Digital Back) better without my glasses. Sometimes I can focus the Rangefinder better without my glasses. Would a diopter help with focusing the rangefinder with or without glasses? I hate automatic focus cameras and lenses and will continue to work with my rangefinders and manual lenses. I may just have to stop down a lot to keep everything in focus but I like shallow depth of field. Getting old is not for sissies! I would appreciate any suggestions from others who have faced the same problems. TIA Tina -- Tina Manley http:// www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
