Thanks Walter.
The focusing was mostly guesswork ... You only have three means of
controlling the focus on this camera:
- aim carefully knowing the AF hot spot
- lock focus and exposure with a half press and reframe, press the
shutter the rest of the way
- lock the focus to infinity and control the focus zone with aperture
I'm pretty familiar with the Contax Tix' AF system and simply tried to
get myself into the right "slightly north of center" AF focusing
point. I figured that with the light available it would likely run
wide open or close to it on exposure, so trying to prefocus and turn
it around in my hands wasn't going to work, and the AF system is very
accurate if you get it targeted right.

Nice capture. I especially like the way the camera caught your eyes in
perfect focus. Did you plan that, and if so, how?

took this one while on my morning walk a couple of days ago
enjoying the
rediscovery of my Contax Tix camera.
