I don't think you quite understand what your saying, to scale focus you have to move the lens distance scale to match up with the fixed aperture scale on the left for a given aperture, so f8 has to line up with f8 on the fixed scale, then read from left to right on the fixed scale and you have your distance of focus between the two f8 lines on the fixed aperture scale
Awesome Video bro, I have been using my 35mm Voigtlander lense for more than 6 years and I've never knew the zone focusing until now. It is a shame Lol, btw I want to say thank you for this video.
Hi Eric! Thank you for the Explanation. To be honest, would you explain it like this in 2021?! And who is your Audience?! Beginners like me or People, who are comfort with manual Focussing. When it comes to Zones, it need a lot of Practice to estimate them. When you do do train it, you will fail or feel that it is like fishing blind. - Please help me with your Experience! What is a good Approach to learn this Stuff?! Cheers Helmut
Finely zone focusing is make sense to me. I had tried it so many times, but always end up using my auto focus again. Cause I never understood how to do it. Now that I start using analog camera I need to master zone focusing. So thank you very much for making this video.
nope... with the stupid barking dog, chirping birds, the wind and what sounds like a TV in the background, the random focus.. this video is pretty unwatchable.
Unless you are shortsighted like me, so this is how the world usually looks when I am taking a break from my glasses. Well, its a bit extreme here. My eyes arnt THAT bad.
Once autofocus was put into every camera you would ever see from that point on, those numbers were simply never printed on the lens barrel. There is a whole generation of photographers who have never ever looked through a manual lens.
My wife took photography in college and just gave me her Minolta x700, great slr. She didn’t know what the numbers meant and she was TAUGHT IN COLLEGE. So it’s possible people don’t know. Now I’m a high-school drop out, but I knew lol.
Ironically much of the video is not in focus
It was an artistic choice
My thoughts exactly..and someone shut that dog up!
man this is like the first time i understand this hahaha
tried so often! :P thanks for the help
damn this old tech is amazing
This is a very well made and explanatory video. I will use my Leica M cameras now with your suggestions. Thank you. Canada
hey what's up street gods
Question: if everything is pre set already for zone focusing, how do you adjust exposure? ( use only shutter speed? I use M6 ) thank you 🙏🏼
So Useful！keep posting Leica videos! gonna practice on M7
second time.need watch frequently
Thank you for sharing this.I found it helpful for this subject. By the way I like your audience the wind and dog as well as the chirping bird👍

Thank you so much 😊 This video is a must see to all street photographers!!
I recently bought a Canon P and a 50 1.8 lens. Can this method be used on my lens? Would appreciate any assistance!!
Navith Shariff 50mm works yes.
Yes sure!!;)

Wat. If you don't know what those numbers on the lens mean, you probably need to go back and reevaluate your passion for photography.
If numbers matter so much to you, you probably should reevaluate your passion for art and get into accounting.
@@8ulls3y3 well said.
@@8ulls3y3 thats retarded.. Robert is right.. if you dont what F-stops are then why did you buy a camera ? stick to your smartfone.

what happened to you dude?
Bro this is the US we don’t use meters we use feet!
Dude, just use DSLR's or Mirrorless like normal people
Lol. Why should he?
Shooting on a rangefinder gives you a very different feel from using a dslr or mirrorless camera. I challenge you to give it a try sir!
I can't believe how fucking stupid you are.....lol
Akash Mishra nailed an lol
Boy, you're missing out. A manual focus rangefinder, film, and a Leica, at that? Mm. But, to each their own.
