I doubt, however, that in this day-and-age, you will find virtually anyone (yes, I'm sure there are a few - that's why I said 'virtually anyone -) who shoots for a living, including those who regularly shoot with Leicas, who uses lenses over 90 mm on rangefinder.

BD This is decidedly not a "one size fits all" universe. Simply because YOU and others on the LUG have difficulty using hte 135mm frame-line does not mean either that EVERYONE experiences such difficulty nor does it mean that there is something morally deficient in those who do not experiece such difficulty. I probably use a 135 for 20% or more of my photography on the M and have never had any undue problem with using the frame-line. To each his own.
