[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]For an explanation of framelines and how they are selected go here: http://teachnet.edb.utexas.edu/~leica/ I do not think it would be economically feasible to have a custom frame line mask made up. It is possible, just VERY expensive, cheaper by far to just get a gold plated 35/1.4 asph. What frame line set does the 40 bring up now? I would have though that it would be the 35 already but I have never tried it. The 35/135 frame line set is the easiest to correct for as it has the shortest bayonet "ear". Making the "ear" longer can be a little tricky as you have to remove the lens bayonet and have material added by silver soldering.
