Subject: [Leica] M3 Framing Questions

Hi,

I'm just getting started using a recently obtained M3 and have a few
questions about its operation.

The camera is a later version and has the DOF notches in the frame
lines, but I'm unclear on how they work to indicate DOF.  Can anyone
explain this?

Also, if I wanted to use a 35mm lens, would the full view through the
finder, beyond the 50mm frameline borders, be about right for
framing?  Where might I frame if a 75mm were to be used?

Thanks for any help.
