I found the Ensign a bit of a pig, I hate scale focus I have decided, it doesn't have enough scale markings (after close up it's 15ft, 25ft and infinity, also 40ft on the DoF scale which is a separate calculator knob), and the longer 105mm lens naturally has a smaller DoF so don't phooque it up! If the first roll looks good then I will take it to Spain but it's definitely for landscapes or stuff that doesn't move or get too close.
