EOS-M. Manual focus tips and results for Street-Photography and more

In the quest for an acceptable use of my Canon EOS-M I think I’ve finally found a way to exploit my M-mount lenses after the poor experience with the LCD focus.

The last two exposures posted, this and this, have been shot with a Carl Zeiss T* Biogon 35/2,8 through zone-focusing, while the picture of this post has been manually focused using the EOS-M’s 5x magnification feature. In both cases the results are more than acceptable, giving a new life to this severely limited camera.

All I can say is that is true what seasoned photographers use to say about the cameras: as soon as you get acquainted with your gear and know its limits you can get excellent pictures, provided that you don’t ask the camera more than what it is able to give.
