I Have a Working Camera Again
December 21, 2011

What appeared focused through the lens and to my eye - even accounting for age, left or right eye variations, diopter calibration, focus points against distance against aperture - wouldn't necessarily be in focus in the actual shot. When shoting I would have to dial back a little on the focus ring, guessing a focus point that would work for the sensor while it appeared blurred in the viewfinder. That was just ridiculous, but I needed tourist photos in Japan so I dealt with it during that time.
