I tend to forget that some folks use really long lenses, even with an M. I don't know if it's the proper way- but I tend to use more or less a zone focus approach... then again, I don't shoot anything longer than 135mm, and most things I do are at about f5,6 to f11- so it usually is a matter of just being in the ballpark. Sometimes though, DOF is more than you want! I have shot portraits with a 90 Elmarit-R, and had to shoot wide open just to get the background out of focus so it wouldn't be obtrusive! I imagine that if I ever get a 400mm Telyt for my Viso, I'll have to start worrying about those things! Dan ( :o)~ ) Post - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
