[Leica] Infrared Help

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Tina, to set focus: focus normally, then set that focussed distance 
opposite the near f4-f5.6 dof mark (ie, set the distance closer than 
what you determined by rangefinder). That should get you close to the 
right focus point for an 092 with most lenses. For IR, I use 320 and 
640.
