Hi Mike, I've replied to Folsom with my mistaken observation-- memory fading!

Oh sorry F--- What I enquired was, in 1960 I worked for commercial Photo company in the UK--we basically travelled the Northern areas covering Clubs/ Promenades/Holiday camps /etc
We were called "Smudgers " our cameras were Leica M2 bodies single strokers with the Summaron 28 or 35mm WA lenses--( sorry bit hazy cannot recall exactly which Focal length) they were fixed focus and preset aperture
same for ASA-by the company they were given to us this way --sort of Preset/snap ready.
the Lens focus was always set on midway between Infinity and F11 for max depth of field- sometimes we had to snap in Clubs pitch black no way for focus just point and Flash --ha!.
My apologies guess I was mistaken into believing the M2 did not Focus in the viewfinder with those lenses as the couple of occasions
I "fiddled" with the settings I cannot recall any Focus framing ,coming together of the images, when the lens was focused manually.
Sorry for the confusion I must have been mistaken--enjoy the brand they are superb--Good Shooting !

Maybe it's my poor Uverse bandwidth but I don't see the image here.Have to say that like my source component, I haven't gone digital yet! (This image is an...ah...engraving! Yeah, that's it! An engraving!)

Love my Leica Q. The new Noctilux 50mm F1.2 is tempting too...I recently purchased a slightly used Leica Q. I'm still learning it although I am a very experienced photographer. The lens sharpness is many levels above even my better Nikon lenses. Build quality is off the charts good.
Strange...i can see it on my phone as well as my mac. It’s a pic of a titanium bodied M6 next to a Schroeder Reference arm...Maybe it's my poor Uverse bandwidth but I don't see the image here.
so can I.Strange...i can see it on my phone as well as my mac. It’s a pic of a titanium bodied M6 next to a Schroeder Reference arm...
Relief...for a few minutes there I thought i was just imagining the Leica and Schroeder I think I have...so can I.
As you should ! What’s the resolution ? Mirrorless? I haven’t kept up with digital cameras in the high end.Love my Leica Q. The new Noctilux 50mm F1.2 is tempting too...
24MP i think which is plenty. Fixed 28mm F1.8 lens which means no faffing around with lenses and wide enough for shallow depth of field. Macro mode as well. It's a great camera. If I need anything more comprehensive the M10P with a 50mm and 90mm covers most things for me.As you should ! What’s the resolution ? Mirrorless?

Im sure It must be amazing. These silly phones take great pictures for what they are. I can only imagine how good the Leica would be with all that wonderful glass.

Back in the early 80s, I sold off all of my Nikon SLRs & lenses & replaced them with a Leica M5. Never looked back - the Leica suited my needs & expectations perfectly.Maybe it's my poor Uverse bandwidth but I don't see the image here.
I did the same. Out went the Nikon D1X/D200 with huge and heavy 70-200, 17-35, 27-80 etc etc and in came a tiny M9 which has become a M10P and Q and CL. There is something magical in carrying a tiny camera.Back in the early 80s, I sold off all of my Nikon SLRs & lenses & replaced them with a Leica M5.

That gets truer with every iteration of smartphone. Some of their lenses work better in certain situations than a camera would. Always nice though to have one camera available for those special situations when you really want that multi layered picture that no 5mm lens will ever be able to produce, however brilliant the software.I spent a lot of time viewing family events, vacations, etc through a viewfinder, carrying a bag and lenses.
I have lots of pictures and nobody cares. So I haven't used my Nikon film or digital in a few years. It's nice not
being tethered by a camera strap. Just an iPhone is all I use anymore.
