On one hand, the reflex viewfinder displays objects in the perspective of the focal length of the attached lens (e.g. wide angle lenses show wide angle perspective). What ways to people compensate for the fact that the Leica M viewfinder, though framing accurately, displays only the perspective of a 40-50mm lens. That is, the perspective of the finder image cannot change to match, for example, a 28mm or 135mm lens. I wonder if I compose differently with my M6's 35mm/2 Summicron M vs. my Nikon FM's 35/2 Nikor?
