[Leica] color heliar + 75 vf = parallax?

greg (you sly devil),

i hadn't thought of that! i guess i had the non-floating, transparent,
parallactically incorrect frame of the iiif in mind when i responded. (with
all those features, these cameras should cost even more!)

that said, while this operation might be easier on a iiig than on
preceeding ltm's, i think it would be tricky to reframe *after* checking to
see if you're centered through the internal vf. might be easier just to
'guestimate' framing through the external vf until you get used to the
difference.
