Yes, but focus peaking is not specified in this model; I thought it was in the TL version. In any case, on the Fuji and Olympus, you can set it with colors, the Nikon probably to, here, it’s only a shimmering effect in the image.

That sounds like the focus peaking on the Nikon! That’s exactly what it does!

I feel exactly the same way. I’ve used focus peaking on my Fuji cameras and also on my Olympus, but I still prefer to manually focus using magnification. Recently, I discovered something interesting on the Leica T – when I’m perfectly focused on a subject, the edges of the object in the viewfinder start to shimmer slightly – it’s hard to describe, but it’s a bit like the split-screen focus of an old analog DSLR.

Ah! Just re-read it. I read it first in bed when I was half asleep. Funny thing is, although I have focus peaking I also prefer the magnification method as I find it so much more accurate anyway. Enjoy!

Hey Mark,
That’s the thing—the Leica T doesn’t have focus peaking, you might have missed in the article. Instead, I focus using the magnifying option, either at 3x or 6x magnification. So far, I’ve been using 6x and taking my time to find the sharpest point, and that works pretty well

It’s not always easy, but I’ve found that as long as the focus is reasonably sharp, the results turn out well, even when shooting wide open. In other words, I don’t really miss the focus peaking, and photographing manual is still quite manageable.

As always, thanks a lot for your feedback, Mark. I hope all is well with you.
Best,
Marc

How do you find that focus peaking on that camera for that narrow depth of field in practical use?
