[Leica] Leica O

[mak at teleport.com (mak@teleport.com)]

I shot with one for a couple years...totalling a couple rolls. Funky retro 
was hampered by things I did not have to do with my SWC...like cap the 
shutter and calculate speeds from a cheat sheet chart. 

retro yes frustrating yes
Does anyone ever use a Leica O?

I frequently shoot with a Hasselblad 38 mm biogon and a horseman 6x12 with a 
65 Rodenstock. Neither can be focused and you have to guess at your distance 
from your subject. 

That sounds difficult, but is not hard, especially with a the depth of field 
afforded by a wide angle lens, and I get a lot of great photos from the pair.

I imagine, however, that it is more difficult with the 50 on the O and I am 
wondering what someone who uses one would have to say about it.
