Hi Hans,

There is no automatic frameline selection on the RD-1. You manually select
the appropriate framelines. With a 35mm lens attached, you select the 35mm
framelines. However, whilst the framelines on the RD-1 are designated 28, 35
and 50, the actual frames in the finder represent the digital crop
equivalents of 42, 53, and 75.

Ian Watts.
