My focusing techniques for manual lenses and what I look for when buying a manual lens

[@cheekyboop]

Thanks for this. Understanding zone focusing before was a little bit confusing for me but this makes it more clear. I shoot with a Voigtlander 35mm on an M4 which I recently purchased this summer.

Very, very useful focusing tips. As usual, an excellent video production. No annoying background music. Nicely paced. Very clear audio. Thank you.

Hmm! I like your videos very much. Watch many of them. I am a novice shooting street (all I ever do) on film with a 50mm lens on a Zorki 2 using the fixed focus (12 foot for everything) technique that you describe here. But from what you say towards the end, I should perhaps change to a 35mm lens?

[@WalkLikeAlice]

Not if the 50 works for you. The 35 will give you better options for zone focus but the 50 is a special lens.

So funny, I just switched to only R Lenses with my Leica SL2s. 😀

[@WalkLikeAlice]

Great lenses.

I can’t thank you enough for your tips and tricks Jeff. Moving your body instead of refocusing! What a brilliant idea 💡
