Subject: [Leica] focusing Minox

Most of the old still cameras had guess-focus; some on the lens, some of the
folding cameras on the lens board. When I was a military cinematographer, my
35mm Bell and Howell Eyemo had guess-focus. One just learns to work that
way.

I have always wondered how does one focus with the Minox since it has no
'whatever' to tell U whether your subject is in focus.........

How do U do it ? Is there any other way other than 'guestimating' all the
time ?
