I'd just focus >and shoot whats in the camera finder, framing the picture with the whole >finder window. I doubt I'd miss much. That was my initial thought, if I'd picked up an M2. On the M3, however, it's not an option. (That said, does the outside frame of the M3 approximate 35mm?) I have been guesstimating the 135mm frame on my M3, as it's a double stroke without the frame preview and I don't have the proper LTM adapter yet. I'll be interested to see how this works out. Did a series of bullseye shots from the shortest focus point to infinite, to find out whether parallax is going to prove a problem. Thanks for all the responses regarding the 28mm finder. I may just keep the Konica and buy a Voigtlander finder. I'm considering doing the same with my 75mm, although I think parallax *would* be a serious problem there. cheers, Douglas Cooper http://www.dysmedia.com
