I totally agree with Miro about rangefinders and 'extreme' lenses.
I'm not quite sure what you guys are getting at with this
I've never used a Leica but I'd have assumed the rangefinder focusing would be completely independent of the lens mounted on it?
And even on an SLR, wouldn't an extreme aperture lens like 0.95 provide a nice bright viewfinder when focusing?
I fully expect to be missing something here though.
depth of field so thin that its almost impossible to have something (you aim at) in focus wide open
Gotcha, and stopping down doesn't help at all?
Ignore me that was a brain fart
