My subject was a dozen or so vertical pipes that were part of a sculpture. I had a really hard time telling which pipe was being superimposed on which pipe in the rangefinder. I focused on the edge, and then tried to adjust focus, but the end result was a failure. I didn't get focus where I wanted. This is the first time I've had a really difficult time finding focus and then ending up with something totally different than I expected.
