The other finders have the framelines covering a slightly larger area. So on my TTL 0.72 with the 1.25x magnifier mount I too can easily see the 35mm framelines. However on my M2 with the 1.25x magnifier mounted I cannot quite see all of the 35mm framelines at one glance. Leica shrunk the 35/50/90/135 framelines to squeeze in the 28mm framelines." That's strange, because with the 1.25x on my M4-2 I can see the 35mm lines. When did they shrink? It's accademic, of course, because with a 35mm lens on a .72 body you'd take the 1.25x off (at least I do). However I do think that anyone who's seriously interested in one of these should try to test one for themselves. - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "There are only two services that images can offer the afflicted.
