[Leica] WTB: Leica CL, now framing

[vintagebill at verizon.net (bill harting)]

Jeff, I use a 40mm Summicron on a 3 and a 7, and understand Daniel's 
concern -- there is a danger of the chop (or at least a trim), but I 
kind of like the results with a chop, sometimes, and probably just do 
not frame as tightly as he does. If absolute framing accuracy is 
essential, I can always use the view camera, or the enlarger... (ha). I 
guess I don't ever regard the framelines as a guarantee, but more as an 
approximation.
