![]() ![]() Working this way when not under any time pressure, my hit rate is easily as good as any AF system I've ever used, maybe better. For long lenses or tricky situations, say repeated patterns, as I have my EVF focus set to Zoom, I typically focus via the OVF and then switch the EVF without touching anything so I'm still zoomed in and can confirm I got it right. Peaking, if you enable it, can be particularly misleading when the lens isn't wide open. ![]() The EVF isnt so detailed that I trust it over the OVF except on long lenses when open. Now, why focus with OVF not the EVF? Well, the issue for me is accuracy with the lens stopped down. In situations where speed is not necessary I focus and rough compose with the OVF then switch to the EVF for final framing and exposure correction. Unlike most here, my visoflex is glued to the camera. So there comes the Visoflex as a utility to support me in these situations, although I know it is technically far behind the digital viewfinder of Q / SL / CL. So, I actually would like to use the rangfinder, but I see the problem of focus shift and maybe not always be able to focus as quick as needed. Then again, I heared terrible stories about focus shift on some of these lenses and even with my old M-lenses which I sold, like Summarit 75mm, I experienced focus shift issues. The thing is that I rather would like to skip awfully bad expensive lenses for the first moment and try out 3rd party lenses, like the ones from Voigtländer or Zeiss. Since I now mainly work as a photo editor, I kinda have more patience and I would try again a Leica M. ![]() I remember myself being on a reportage in Central Asia with M262 as main body and Q as second body, after I missed several shots with my M263 body in situations with motion, I continued to only shoot with Leica Q. Mainly because I might was not ready for range finder and manual focusing. Well, I had a M262 for quite some time, but then I got frustrated and I sold it. ![]()
