Subject: [Leica] Newbie question about frame line accuracy

Scott,

Everything's a compromise. Depends on which M and
magnification and which focal length. Usually, at least,
you get a bit more than you thought, which isn't horrible.

If that's a .72 M6ttl you are using, 28 and 35 frames are
pretty accurate at 2 - 5 m., 50mm less so, etc.

What is your complaint? Even SLR's are not perfect in this
regard. Are you shooting reversal?

William
