RioRico..... I was somewhere quaint &/or pungent just last week...... I didn't notice you there. I'll keep an eye out for you on my next excursion to such surroundings.

I, too, do a majority of my shooting with old manual focus Takumars. Use a wide angle lens (28mm, 24mm, or 20mm) stopped down to f:11 or f:16. Then set the hyperfocal distance using the scale beside the focusing ring (F:11 at infinity, if that's the f stop you've chosen). This should give you sufficient depth of field to give good results with most situations you're likely to encounter with this type of shooting. Pinpoint focus blind shooting is, of course, difficult to achieve without utilizing the viewfinder.

I've been employing this technique as a lark for decades, beginning with my zone focusing folders (Voigtlander Vito IIa, Zeiss Ikonta 35). Here's a fairly recent shot taken with my Canon S70 using this blind "from-the-hip" method while strolling through Manhattan (PP film grain added).
