DISTANCE METERING

Due to its large effective metering basis, the range

finder on the Leica M Monochrom is very precise. The

benefits of this are particularly noticeable when using

wide-angle lenses with their relatively large depth of

field.

basis

69.25mm x 0.68 = 47.1 mm

The range finder metering field is visible as a

bright, sharply defined rectangle in the center of the

viewfinder. If you keep the large viewfinder window

(1.6) closed, only the activated bright line frames and

this metering field remain visible. The focus can be set

using either the superimposed image or split image

method:

SUPERIMPOSED IMAGE METHOD

(DOUBLE IMAGE)

In a portrait, for example, aim the metering field at the

eye and turn the distance setting ring on the lens until

the contours in the metering field are brought into line.

Then choose the subject detail.

SPLIT IMAGE METHOD

When taking photographs of architecture, for example,

aim the range finder metering field at the vertical edge

or another clearly defined vertical line and turn the

distance setting ring on the lens until the contours

of the edge or line can be seen at the limits of the

metering field with no misalignment. Then choose the

subject detail.

In practice, there is often no clear distinction between

the two methods. The two criteria can be used to great

effect in combination.

Double contour = Not sharp

Broken line = Not sharp

Congruent contours = Sharp

Continuous line = Sharp
