You are still doing a bad job of expressing yourself unless you are 
talking about the R camera.  The M camera frame lines are only somewhat 
accurate at the close focus distance.  Once you get past that, you are 
getting more than the frame lines show.  However, I must admit it is a 
hoot to print a frame with the film info showing... although I could do 
this the PS also...though it would be a lie.
