Working with a Leica, and other RF cameras, you get pretty good at

like the feature for times it's needed, but these days it's not needed too
often, plus it slows down getting the shot.

I could never get excited about DOF review, because my eyes would
accommodate so well (I guess) I found it hard to tell where the
demarcation was between IN and OUT of focus.
Of course, there is no such sharp line, but...using the lens
aperture-closing feature to determine if something was not quite in
focus, well, it just never worked for me.
I use my viewfinder's split image or microprism to obtain focus, and
estimate what will be in acceptable focus front and rear based on the
lens aperture ring data, at any given setting.

Pay attention Mike! I mentioned it and wrote almost an entire bleedin'
paragraph about it!

One post after the subject header changed 8-( Still, remarkably few
people use it.
