Perhaps this is because I have worn them so long (since age 9, and I am now 39), I am so used to them that I am not all bothered when I use my Leicas--even when I have my 35mm lens on the M6HM. Somebody wrote that he had a difficult time seeing the 50mm frame on an M3. I find that hard to imagine (yes, I have an M3 which is more or less dedicated to my Noctilux).
