Brusby: "I thought you were having lunch with William Shatner. He could be his twin. Nice photo.
Just curious how you focused this shot. Zone? Doesn't the Leica Ia lack a rangefinder?"
Thank you, Brusby. The Leica la doesn't have a rangefinder, but Leitz produced a separate rangefinder. This instrument is more precise than the rangefinder of a Leica lll and is called "Fofer". You simply measure the distance with the Fofer and then transfere the measured distance to the distance scale of the lens on the camera. A bit slow, but very precise.
