Some questions about the M9
I thought that was a really interesting article, but as somebody who's never used a Leica it left me with a question in my mind:
Am I right in thinking that you focus the camera by judging the distance and setting the focus ring to whatever number you judged the distance to be?
If that's the case, how can you get a portrait sharp on the eyes when using these very fast prime lenses? It seems a shame there is no live view function as that would allow some kind of through the lens feedback at least.
I can understand that you might get quite good at this with practice, but when the depth of field is just a few mm surely there is no chance?
