I've found the opposite, in that framing is less important with a 24mm --
and even more important, a slight movement of a long lens results in a huge
shift of the image gathered.  Using a 135 on a IIIf with a Russian finder, I
could almost *never* frame correctly.

Btw, it now seems that my M3 focuses past infinity.  Is this a simple
adjustment, that I can have a less than virtuosic repairman do in Manhattan?
