Subject: Re: [Leica] Focussing wide angle lenses on R camera

A while back Ted Grant shared an easy way to focus SLR mounted wide 
angle lenses. Start from closest focus that way it easier to tell when 
things get sharp. If you find yourself unsure, dial it back to closest 
focus  and start again. Try it, it really works.
