[Leica] IMG: Focusing

[lluisripollphotography]

Jim,

I’ve never used auto-focus, I imagine it could be interesting for the street, mainly with digital, in my opinion film requires less precision. I usually use the hyper-focal concept, for your style precise focusing is important and the results are perfect.

To go back to the "old reliable", I put the original ZD14-54 lens on my E-1 and looked around for a suitable subject.  I settled on this "sun catcher" on a very cloudy day.  I think the AF results are better than what I have been getting with manual close-ups.
