Hi, in
i the last
days I am taking a walk my adapted lenses and I am looking on the scene calculating.
Focus at that distance and use an aperture of X to get what I want. That worked nicely for old film cameras.

How I can do something similar with my nex? I can set the aperture but what about the focus point? Manual focus does not have meter scale at all ...

Alex
