[Leica] Nikkor P 105mm / focus peaking

[Frank Filippone]

Sonny.. I tried focus peaking, and found it to be too inaccurate or at least
not selective enough.... Have you tried the ground glass approach with the
magnified view?  It is my preferred mode.  (FWIW)  But at pretty open
apertures.

OTOH, at closed down apertures, the GG approach is pretty "variable".....
ie, too much DOF.....

I've been using focus peaking on my Sony A7s and Leica M, R, Konica, and
Nikkor lenses.  I use it for any lens except my Zeiss FE lenses.

Here's a shot with my Nikkor 105mm
