Painting over the markings for the frame one doesn't want to see seems to be simple enough . I like the feature in my M2 where I see only the frame that corresponds to the lens that is mounted...isn't that the feature that validates the viewfinder design in the first place ? Seeing more than one frame at a time diminishes the simplicity and precision of the Leica M. Tom
