Finely zone focusing is make sense to me. I had tried it so many times, but always end up using my auto focus again. Cause I never understood how to do it. Now that I start using analog camera I need to master zone focusing. So thank you very much for making this video.
Awesome Video bro, I have been using my 35mm Voigtlander lense for more than 6 years and I've never knew the zone focusing until now. It is a shame Lol, btw I want to say thank you for this video.
Hi Eric! Thank you for the Explanation. To be honest, would you explain it like this in 2021?! And who is your Audience?! Beginners like me or People, who are comfort with manual Focussing. When it comes to Zones, it need a lot of Practice to estimate them. When you do do train it, you will fail or feel that it is like fishing blind. - Please help me with your Experience! What is a good Approach to learn this Stuff?! Cheers Helmut
I don't think you quite understand what your saying, to scale focus you have to move the lens distance scale to match up with the fixed aperture scale on the left for a given aperture, so f8 has to line up with f8 on the fixed scale, then read from left to right on the fixed scale and you have your distance of focus between the two f8 lines on the fixed aperture scale
Once autofocus was put into every camera you would ever see from that point on, those numbers were simply never printed on the lens barrel. There is a whole generation of photographers who have never ever looked through a manual lens.
My wife took photography in college and just gave me her Minolta x700, great slr. She didn’t know what the numbers meant and she was TAUGHT IN COLLEGE. So it’s possible people don’t know. Now I’m a high-school drop out, but I knew lol.
nope... with the stupid barking dog, chirping birds, the wind and what sounds like a TV in the background, the random focus.. this video is pretty unwatchable.
Unless you are shortsighted like me, so this is how the world usually looks when I am taking a break from my glasses. Well, its a bit extreme here. My eyes arnt THAT bad.
