marcus_michael_dunkmann Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I got one of the first DD1 which have been delivered to the dealers. Before ordering I held one of the show prototypes in my hands. They both had the settings Gerald told about. I never saw a DD1 with fixes focus.

subminiature Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Even with the three zone focus settings some users may consider this as fixed focus. It certainly is not variable focus although the instruction sheet does not make it clear what settings between the click stops would do. If a user has not read the instruction sheet and only glanced at the handbook they may never know that they can focus down to 50cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
