A friend has landed me his M6. I enjoy the feel of it against my body and holding it for shooting and feeling the quality of each component very satisfying. I am only on my third roll but progress toward deciding to buy RF. I am posting now two items. This one is about use. The next one will be about price.
The sensory joy described above is accompanied here with some unresolved problems. I assume they are related to unavoidable comparison with shooting ease and style in Sigma DSLR and Rolleiflex TLR.
1.Shooting with eyeglasses makes frame line not visible
2.Unless using inaccurate focusing by hyper-focal diagram on lens, focusing is time consuming and confusing complex with many similar elements hunting for the the correct second image takes too long and not entirely clear.
3.when exposure meter is dead there is no way to prevent shooting with lens cap on
4.shooting full frame portrait with 35mm lens makes subject equally uncomfortable with the Leica as with any dslr
5.composing on this size view finder makes composing more of challenge with .
Loving the feel of RF (M6 is the only one I have tried) I am looking for a way to overcome the limitations. Any general technical advice or reference to another body where these problems can be better solved is welcome.
