I do think that when i am photographing frame of mind then i am actualy faster with my M6, its slower from a dead start when your minds not on the job, but faster once up and running. I find i usually prefocus before i put the camera to my eye, by putting the focusing tab in the correct position, straight down on the 35mm summicron is between 2 and 3 metres and this used as my reference point. I only really shoot with a 35mm lense, although i have a 50 and 75.
I really dont like the viewfinder in the CL. I've only used one once though. paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Chang-Sang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 1:59 PM Subject: RE: OT-Cheap Leicas-was: Let's get real, folks. > Perfect description...
