Greg Rubenstein wondered how I nailed the focus in a darken Starbucks and with back light. Truth be told, my eyesight are getting worse and I see double quite often, so often I don't see the RF patch in total clarity. However, I have enough experience that I can do it "by fiat". i.e. it must be in focus because slightly off either direction and they look worse. A bit iffy but it serves me well. Indeed, I have no more trouble focusing in the dark room since it's the same technique. Anyway, it's wonderful to use the M9 in a "fast-pace" situation. Love it. I love the simplicity of the manual mode with the meter. -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com> // On Facebook: http://facebook.com/richardmanphoto // On Instagram: https://instagram.com/richardmanphoto
