Subject: Re: [Leica] 1.25x magnifier w/ 135/2.8 M lens

If you do not have glasses, you can comfortably see the 35mm framelines on a
0.72x and the 50mm framelines on a 0.85x. As the 135/2.8 uses the 90mm
framelines, you will have no problem when using the 1.25x magnifier even on
a M3. If you use glasses, there are too many variables (such as nose and
forehead shape) to know whether it will work without actually trying it.

Cheers,
