: Yes, it means Leica is assuming that its customers are mentally deficient.

: Dear All,
:
: This might seem like a dumb question but what does the Leica M6 manual
: mean by saying there is the option of using either superimposed images
: or a split image when focusing using the rangefinder patch?
:
: At first, I thought it might mean that the user can either look at the
: two images in the RF patch and tweak the focus until they merge into
: one or, alternatively, look at a vertical line that passes through the
: RF patch and tweak the focus until it shows no discontinuity, such as
: with the central split-image part of a typical SLR focusing screen.
: However, this seems so blindingly obvious as to be not worth even
: mentioning, unless Leica is assuming that its customers are mentally
: deficient.
:
: So ... what does it really mean?
