It was one of those times when I was playing around with my M6, and then I decided to test myself, I looked at objects around me, estimated the distance in my head, and withoutlooking down at the lens, turned it to what I thought would be the correct distance. When I checked with the rangefinder, most times I was correct, sometimes I was close. It was an unexpected surprise. Perhaps this is an ability that hascome out of much use of the camera, and some aspects of handling become automatic responses. Did anyone have this kind of experience also? One question, does anyone use the 35 summicron with it's hood in candid photography? Does it affect the speed of handling. - --adi
