Are those wax figures? If so, pretty amazing. Do they also make them too large there? Here in Berlin the Tom Cruise is about 2-3 inches too tall, if not more Maybe that is the only way he would agree to it.

Hi Carsten, yes they are wax figures. They're really life like. They were on a pedestal, even so looked really tall.

I am learning to quickly compensate for lenses which backfocus or front focus (all my "off" lenses seem to front focus)
Spoiler: it involves the dreaded chimping.
Basically, and this is prolly obvious to everyone but me, I shoot targets with RF close as I can get it, check focus on screen. Adjust, moving the split image, and check again. After 20 shots or so at various ranges, my brain starts to associate the appropriate "english", and my hit rates, while not perfect, are way better.
After some practice this is not hard to do at all: in fact the brain seems to find it amusing.
I now find it no problem to identify correct focus in the LCD. I magnify, of course. But it's painless, and despite some "complaints" to contrary, reliable.
I used the same technique at the play above with my 85/1.5 LTM which also has front focus. I established the range at the event with a few chimps and shot with high hit rates from then on
Maybe that is the only way he would agree to it.
