Depth-of-field button
The LEICAFLEX SL 2 measures the ex-
posure at full lens aperture. The depth-of-
field button permits the assessment in the
viewfinder of the depth of field to be ex-
pected with the pre-set stop-down. When
the button (6) is pressed the lens dia-
phragm is closed to the preset value.
Please note:
During exposure measurement the button
(6) must not be pressed.
Depth-of-field scale
The depth-of-field scale indicates the range
of the depth of field for the object distance
set on the distance setting ring.
If, for instance, you have focused the 50mm
SUMMICRON-R f/2. lens on 5m, the
sharpness will extend from 3m to about
20m when the lens is stopped down to f/11.
If you stop down only to f/4, however,
sharpness will extend from 4m to about 8m.
Detailed information about depth of field
with all focal lengths is contained in our
Depth-of-field Table No. 110-57.
