[LRFlex] Re: Super-Angulon 21/4-R

Guys,

I would add the fact that microprism are better aid in focusing than split image with that lens.

With 35, 50 and above, the split image works better for me.

With 21 and 24, the microprism.

Just too much fondling, I suppose.

There is no mechanical coupling to the rangefinder. It's all scale focusing (fancy way of saying guessing and praying?).

Not a problem... I rarely focus the 21 - I either guess the distance or set it for the hyperfocal distance! Seems to work very well.

Ted Grant suggests that if you're having a problem focusing a WA lens, never focus from infinity. Instead, set the lens at it's closest focusing distance and move towards infinity. Much easier to see when your in focus.

And, as always, Ted's right! ;-)
