[Leica] The Hoi Polloi

[Sonny Carter]

When I'm fine focusing a Leica, say portraits of people, cats or flowers (consenting) , I get close with the rangefinder, then lean in or out to achieve exact focus.

I’m not sure I don’t lean forwards or backwards while photographing as I occasionally “zoom with my feet” (or waist as the case may be) and at the same time, i’m not sure that amateurs don’t have horrible crops with way too much extra space or way to little —  that they should have leaned in or out for.
