The M3 has the 50mm frameline always displayed. When you put on a 90 or a
135, the 90 or 135 frameline will appear along with the 50 frameline. With
no lens mounted, the frameline mechanism is in the neutral or 135 position
(35 or 35/135 on most other M cameras) and the 50 and 135 framelines will be
displayed. The frameline selection mechanism can stick or need adjustment.
Please be careful with the camera, it sounds like one knock could easily
leave you with a blacked out viewfinder.

PS: I hope it was cheap!
