I believe that because of the Tri Elmar, and later WATE, the VF is used to
determine FL to some degree.  ( Otherwise how would the body know which of 3
FL is being used on this type of lens?)

does the m8 perhaps use the viewfinder selector to make a guess?  i
recall sun tam exploring this possibility in an LHSA Viewfinder article.

i'd be fascinated to hear if anyone else has seen this phenomenon?
