Lighting then focus in my case.

Lighting is usually selecting an aperture then selecting the correct speed -
although there are exceptions depending on the subject.

Hi - being new to Leica M photography, I thought it would be best to
learning the proper habits of operating this thingy.

I seem to have a natural tendency to start adjusting my focus in order to
have the finder image okay, and after that adjusting the aperture to get the
light reading correct. Problem which occurs is that I frequently touch the
focus ring on my
(small) 35mm Summicron while adjusting the aperture.
I am curious what most people do. Get the lighting right and only than the
focus, or the other way around...

Thanks in advance!
