Focus Peaking On Pine. Leitz Telyt-V 200mm

There's almost a hint of Fall in the air.  As we were having breakfast on the balcony this lovely morning, I noticed the sun spotlighting a branch on our much-photographed pine tree.  It turned into an exercise to see how well the Focus-Peaking function works.  I took one image allowing the camera to highlight in blue the most in-focus parts.  Then I magged the image in the viewfinder 5x, and again let the camera choose the most in-focus needles.  Then I focused myself - with my aged eyes.  The camera seemed to confirm what I considered accurately focused.  The take-away?  Focus-Peaking can be trusted about 95% without using the mag function.
