Obviously the widest frameline on the M4 is for a 35mm lens. I prefer a shorter wideangle, so I'm wondering what optic approximates the whole frame you see through an M4 viewfinder? I don't want to use a separate finder unless I have to and I don't want to convert to the more visually complicated M6 type finder with 28mm framelines. Guessing that the whole finder shows approximately a 28mm view, is there any reason I can't just mount a rangefinder-coupled 28 or 24mm lens and just focus as usual using the whole finder as my "frameline"?
