Subject: [Leica] ......how to Minox..... ?

I have always wondered how does one focus with the Minox since it has no
'whatever' to tell U whether your subject is in focus.........

How do U do it ? Is there any other way other than 'guestimating' all the
time ?

Peace
TMLee

>My favorite backup camera (I'm not a pro) is a Minox 35GL. Sometimes I
carry a second M body as a backup, for lens versatility when I think I need
it, but mostly, I like traveling light. Hence the Minox 35.

>A Minox 35 is a great street shooter. It looks more like a toy than a
"serious" camera and so the intimidation factor is less. I think of it as
the updated successor of the original Leica: small, light, no rangefinder,
collapsible fixed lens of high quality. And aperture-priority metering.
