The accuracy of the frame lines in the 35mm setting leaves a bit to be desired. You have to get used to moving in a little farther than the viewfinder indicates to get the shot you are looking for. I have taken to using an old Imarect finder when I shoot with a 35. Its image is more "accurate" and it better represents the diminishing perspective that a wide angle lens gives. The M viewfinders just don't communicate that perspective as well (opinion).
