A lens moves into place in the viewfinder when the 90mm lens is attached, and this lens moves out of the way when the standard 45mm lens in put in place. Granted they only have 2 lenses to work with on that camera (for now at least) but I'm wondering why Leica couldn't do something similar to make it easier to use 90mm and 135mm lenses on Ms. Seeing a tiny frame in the viewfinder, or having to attach viewfinding eyes to the lens seems to be a less satisfactory approach. Could an external "slip-on" accessory lens be used, in much the same way as diopter adjustment lenses can be attached to viewfinder windows on SLRs?
