Hi Martin,

By changing the frame lanes of the M6 viewfinder, you can have and idea of
what will measure a different lens, but it doesn=B4t change the real measure
area of the lens you are using. I you cock your camera without a lens you
can see the white spot used for the light measure, it doesn=B4t change with
the frame selected.
