Shall we start from the begining again?
I am not against LV. I use it regularly.
Now, let's look at the non-sense from Fred:
"I had never experienced this before and wasted so much time playing around with the live view, that I missed the light."
Do you see? He missed the light!

And when using live view with the 5D mk III, did he waste time and miss the light too, with its live view?

Why? Trying to use LV in the dark to find his critical focus point is the personification of messing around. All he had to do was to turn the focus ring unitl the green light came on.

If only the focus system is always accurate. Especially with MF focus confirmation.

When you have a foreground, mid-ground and back-ground - all of which are of interest - there is no critical point that is going make a difference to the image. You can either focus on the general area of most interest or as I have said a number of times, just dial to infinity.
And BC, how on earth do you know that "Merklinger would for sure LOVE live view "?

It is in what I wrote. Merklinger believes in getting the focus right on the main subject. Live view CAN help with that. When it is implemented in a way that does not get in the way, obviously. If Merklinger uses large view cameras... he IS using live view anyway (looking on the ground glass plate, at the projected image). And if he then also inspects the projection with a loupe....
And most of the time there IS one main subject in an image. Even if it is just the horizon. If there is not, most probably you are wasting yoru time trying to make a photo anyway.

Have you been reading Fred Miranda again?

It is funny, to see you want to break down Fred Miranda. The guy does know a thing or two about what he is doing, and why.
