![]() ![]() But what if I were to let the camera decide for me? How well would it perform? Well, that made me curious. In other words, I'm still selecting the focus point. However, I've limited myself to only static, servo, single point autofocus. Most of us are converts from Leica rangefinder photography. And because of that, we may not necessarily be comfortable surrendering that measure of control to the camera.Īdmittedly, I have used the autofocus on the Leica SL. In fact, that might even be the case for most Leica SL photographers. As crazy as that sounds, that might be the case. Maybe, just maybe, shooting autofocus was outside my comfort zone. What's there not to like? But then it occurred to me. For the first time ever, I can focus and frame wide open with my Noctilux with relative accuracy. I mean, how could I not? They're a match made in heaven. Up till now, I've been shooting almost exclusively Leica M-mount lenses on the SL. Then it occurred to me that I really haven't fully tested the autofocus on the Leica SL, since my conversion from the M240. If initially my intent was to test the autofocus accuracy of the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L on the Leica SL with the Novoflex adapter, perhaps the logical fall back plan was to do something along the same objective as evaluating autofocus. Only thing now is what to do in place of my original plan. Besides, I think Anna really wanted to go! And if I wasn't going to let a little ol' thing like rain get in the way of my shoot, why should unreliable technology stop me from pushing forward. But the thing is, I had arranged this outing already with Anna, and her friend Lessy, to accompany me - rain or shine - to Disneyland. I mean, my Novoflex adapter is no longer an autofocus adapter. Yes, I'm talking about Disneyland, Hong Kong.Īdmittedly, I could've canceled the shoot, given the change in circumstances. Needless to say, I wasn't happy - which wasn't exactly a good thing - since I had arrange to conduct my comparison in none other than the happiest place on earth - albeit on this side of the bigger pond. But the day before the test, the autofocus on my Novoflex SL/EOS adapter stopped working. ![]() This was suppose to be a Leica SL + 24-90mm Vario vs Novoflex adapted Canon 24-70mm autofocus accuracy comparison. ![]()
