The part number on the box confirms that. The ad saying it's for the M3 is in error. As far as frame lines for the M3, the 50mm lines are etched in. They are always there. If you put a 35mm lens on the M3 body the 50mm lines will still be there. Len On Mar 18, 2009, at 4:50 PM, Leina Gonzalez wrote: > I hope that I have hit the correct reply button.
