The focussing is quite easy considering the DOF of a 25mm. I noticed three things with the lens 1) the viewfinder covers only 92-95% of what will be on the frame. Important to know. 2) the lens is not flare resistant, e.g., do not put the sun in the frame (I would say it is its only drawback) 3) the quality (except the flare) is really impressive It's really a nice lens Enjoy, logan. >From: MEBerube <MEB@goodphotos.com> >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: Re: [Leica] Question about Voightlander Skopar 25 >Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 12:51:49 -0500 > >At 09:20 AM 11/22/00 -0700, Tom Tristan wrote: >>I'm thinking about getting the Voightlander Skopar 25 lens for my M6.
