red_buckner Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I took my Minox 35 GL out on the streets, feeling a bit dubious because of thezone focusing. I'm not that hot at estimating distance. The pictures that cameback are all in focus, some in critical focus. Here's a shot I took from threefeet away (I thought it was three, and apparently I was right). Amazingly sharpwith a three-dimensional feeling.

jeffpolaski Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 While the masses have become used to auto-focus cameras, the 35mm Minox presents a certain opportunity for a photographer to go it alone, and receive confirmation that his/her own binolcular vision and depth perception indeed works. Kepp going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermood Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have to say that the DOF really helps when you're not sure of the distance of your subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 After some practice, it is not difficult to estimate distance. The pair of human eyes is a natural rangefinder, the distance between to eyes acts like the baseline of rangefinder. You can make good use of your godsend rangefinder and measure distance quite accurately.
