Guilty as charged. Great advice, however I normally do a zone focus ‘preset’ as a matter of course. Spacial and distance awareness is so important here. Before my recent M acquisition I used manual lenses on a Lumix GX8 and that certainly helped. Thanks ✌️📷🇦🇺

Nice set of tips, well done. Regarding zone focus on most digital cameras, it is very difficult to use, since most lenses are drive-by-wire these days and do not maintain a focus setting when the camera goes to sleep or off. So your "zone" needs to constantly be re-set. Much more sensible with a manual Leica which will keep your settings forever....

I'm on a M240. I always set the shutter on 'A' (automatic) , f.11, infinity and ISO 2000. And never the lens cap attached. So I'm able to pull out the camera and shoot. I call it my ready to shoot settings. If I continue shooting, the settings are adjusted depending on the job, but in general my ready to shoot settings are working out very well. Your tips are very useful!

If your M is a film camera, the reason for bad focusing may be the range finder mechanism is out of adjustment. Leica can adjust it for you. If you have a M240 or M10 you can always use live view (LV) to control your focusing. You can buy a 1,25 or 1,4 x magnifier for the view finder. I'm on a 1,4 x and it's very helpful. All focusing with lenses larger than 50 mm isn't easy on an M. I often use an EVF on my m240. I'm not a great fan of the Summarit line, but Steve Huff made a review on it: www.stevehuffphoto.com/2015/05/11/the-new-leica-90-summarit-f2-4-lens-review-on-the-m-240/. One more tip: an American guy produce an M view finder with a yellow coating to improve the contrast in the ranger finder patches (matches). Sorry, but I've lost the link. Before I leave: the connecting rod to the RF in your lens can be bent or out of adjustment too. Enjoy your Leica M.
