Works!<< Hi Rick, Is this possibly an "off rangefinder?" Like it's not right on the mark correct when working wide open? If I were to follow your method with the extra little tweak of the focus ring, my negs would be out of focus on the highlight of the eye. And I mean the near eye to camera. It's an interesting focus method. But do you do it when working with other near wide open apertures? ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
