Hoi Erik,
A few weeks ago I did a reportage and noticed that I keep my index
finger on the aperture ring and my middlefinger on the focusing tab at
the same time. But I do have the summilux that has a tabbed aperture
ring that makes this possible. It takes a lot of practice but after some
time you it becomes naturally and you can do it without thinnking.
Best regards,
Michiel Fokkema
