Yesterday I watched a video on the "Analogue Insights" Youtube channel. They were trying out a Voigtlander Perkeo 1 (zone focusing) and did some pretty close up shots using a tape measure to get the exact distance. Having used folders for several years, I've never tried any close ups, but it looked fun to try.
My question is, where on the camera is the distance measured from? I would assume it would be at the shutter plane. On my Bessa 1 with 105mm lens the minimum distance setting is 5 ft where the depth of field scale shows the acceptable depth is only 6 inches at f/3.5, so this could significantly affect the photo.
