Is there any way of improving my ability to focus better. Even with the Minolta bright screen, I have hard time focusing accurately. Maybe, I am not yet used to the format.

Then i tell them their wedding pictures are not going to look anywhere near that good. For one think I'm not using a fog filter. And I'm shooting mainly black and white. I tell him to look at my shots I'm showing them spread out on my kitchen table so they can tell when their wedding shots will look like. But they will look about one tenth as good. Because what they are seeing is only a few shots from each wedding I've done. By they why i sued to use 35mm for canids and the Hasselblad for formals but i switched to all Hasselblad all sqares about 15 years ago. I find squares very easy to shoot for the candids. And i never have to turn the camera on the side for a vertical. Off topic but i use the 80 and 50 on my Hasselblad for a wedding. Usually most of the candids are done with the 50 which as about the same horizontal angle of view as a 35 on a Leica. .... for the formals the 80 which is a "normal. lens" Although i find a square format with a normal lens a horse of a different color. It's "normal" in 4 directions not just 2 if you catch my drift. - - Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
