Leica has a tradition in having choices of speeds for each focal length. Fast and slow. If not fast medium and slow. As they are charging lots of money like 250 bucks to have them leave the 75 framelines off your camera on that since they'll be loosing money because people will be more included to leave them on. Before I'd think in my dream camera to have them take it off. But now that two 75's to choose from I'd be more included to just leave them on. I'm just used to them. Love finders which fit in the hot shoe though. I'd get one for my 75 as well as my 50. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
