I went out yesterday and this morning with the M11-P and shot about 100 frames with no issues at all.

I haven’t checked on my camera yet but did they fix connection to the Fotos App while using the Visoflex 2 with the new firmware?

I am afraid that issue was not on their to-do list, Tre.
Used the Foto App only once just to see if it works (and it did), but not at the same time with the Visoflex-2.

From what I have seen from some reviews this app seems to b a bit immature.
But I am sure Leica will improve it over time so after a few iterations this might become a preferable camera app indeed - there is hope

This one does look interesting and well thought out. Falloff, distortion, sharpness tests await!

Thanks for sharing Bart, useful video with some good tips and training.useful rangefinder tips&tricks by David Farkas (RDF)
A "hardware" trick that increase my accuracy of using the rangefinder was getting a +1 diopter correction lens for the viewfinder which makes the split image "pop" into place much better.
I borrowed one from a friend because I wanted to test the principle before buying (it's Leica priced
) but for me it makes a big difference and I finally bought two, one for the M240 and one for the M246M.

I'm pleased you liked the video, despite my previous life with rangefinders I still found it very instructive.Thanks for sharing Bart, useful video with some good tips and training.

My prescription is +2 (and a mild cylinder) and I can barely see the focusing patch 'popping' into focus.
The M cameras are said to have -0.5 diopter and you found benefit from a +1.0 diopter.
So what is your prescription then, Pieter ? +0.5 ?
Always found this pretty confusing stuff ...
Anyway, best thing to do is to try some in the Leica store here in Amsterdam.

I have ~ -2 and a strong cylinder, but I'm using the rangefinder with my glasses on. So basically I'm changing the default Leica -0,5 to +0,5 for the corrected vision through my glasses and find this change very beneficial for seeing the patch "pop" or "sit" much better. My number of failed photos due to the wrong focus setting decreased quite consirably, but is still worse compared to the magnified view manual focussing I do with my Sony cameras.
Good plan, try different ones and see which one works best for you (if any). The +1 was an eye opener for me but I guess a lot depends on your specific eye condition and if you use the rangefinder with or without your glasses on.
