The 135 frame indicates what the metering would be and does not distract. It does not unclutter the view that much. Take the 75 framelines off the 50 i'll buy a finder for that. I know they'll try to tell you a .58 body would not be a curate enoghht for a 135 3.4 but i think that's baloney. Acurate enough for what? I'm all for having external finders on every lens i own as well and plan on it. Third party ones too! I'll collect them instead of stamps. Really! (not trying to be sarcastic i really love those little deals!)
