How do I make the Voigtlander Color Skopar 21/4 LTM RF coupled?

I literally just forgot it wasn't RF coupled until like 1m! How do I make it RF coupled? Thanks 😀

The 21mm f4 LTM is coupled. Perhaps you are thinking of the first version 25mm f4, which is not RF coupled?

The rangefinder in your camera only couples to between 70 and 100 cm, so the close range of the 21mm color skopar isn't meant to be focused with it; the close range is scale focus. One trick is to adjust your strap to 50cm and use that to measure the distance to your subject.

Yea true. Gonna just remember how close it can focus 🙂

Remember the closer you focus, the shallower the depth of field. A small aperture like f11 will help to compensate for shallow focus provided there's enough light to use it. The trade-off is a slower shutter speed, so remember to hold the camera steady or rest it against something to avoid blur caused by camera shake.

Of course 🙂 I think I'm quite accurate at zone focusing. But I'm shooting 100 asa now, so f5.6 to f8 is the most I can go
