On the M3 the largest frameline is the 50 and that is the one you would want engaged when you mounted your 28mm lens. So they marked the adapter that brings up the 50mm framelines with 21, 28 and 50. You need an adapter that brings up the 90mm framelines in order to get the 28mm framelines on a M4-P and up camera. John Collier > From: "G.
