Workflow and fast operation of the Voigtlander, how do you apply yours?
I now have this lens for a week, very happy with it.
I´m interested in how others apply their worflow and lens control for general use.
The focus ring as a starting point set to infinite, it is now only possible to turn to the right, no guess.
Focusing from infinite to say one meter distance is a very fast and short throw.
With my eye on the evf i put the focus square on the subject, double tap with the right thumb on the screen this gives first step magnify to the point where the focus square is placed, double tap again, the evf jumps back to normal. Ready to shoot.
Sometimes i use peaking in between, and if there is enough time I use second step magnify.
Does this workflow make sense or is there a simple/ better way..love to hear your thoughts.
Yes, that makes sense. I have and loved using this lens for over a year now. Coming from Canon and being a back button shooter I set the C3 button on my A7ii to Magnify. Very easy to pump it once or twice as required. I shoot my dog playing ball and swimming quite a bit and have mostly got the hang of dim (dogs in motion). Ibis really helps as do your Creative Style settings. Don't forget to add a little gaffer tape to the diopter wheel so it doesn't move on you.
