[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to "ask first and forget the archives." (I hesitated initially, since, at a web site that I frequent, individuals are often chastised for asking a question that could have been answered by doing a search.) In reading all of the focus alignment posts, I've become a bit nervous, since I, too have found that focusing is more of a challenge with the M6 than with my SLR system. I had been attributing this step in the learning curve to the fact that I wear glasses and am used to using an eyecup on my F5; seems as if I'm sometimes contending with extraneous light bouncing around in the M6 viewfinder. For those of you who acquired the M6 after primarily using a SLR, did you find that it took awhile to become accustomed to M6 focusing (especially in low light)? Just how pervasive is the misalignment problem? I plan to do the tripod test as soon as my RRS plate arrives; however, in the meantime, should I be concerned about alignment problems, or am I experiencing normal challenges inherent in a system change? Thanks for any advice, Sandy (who's already trying to decide which lens to order next....)
