[Leica] Leica M3 plus Summilux and Summaron

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

The goggled version would pull up the frame lines for the 50 on an M2, 
whether or not the goggles were mounted, or at least that's the way it 
worked with mine. 

But it was my understanding that the whole point of the non-goggled version, 
being made specifically to mount on the M2 and take advantage of the 0.72 
finder, was that it brought up the 35 frame lines, and the rf patch focused 
without the wedges.
