madNbad Posted August 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2012 If it's not marked in the lower right hand corner of the front rangefinder window then it's .72. Most M6s' are .72 with a few .85 and fewer .58. Any of the magnifications are fine for your current lens and any you may add. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

01af Posted August 7, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2012 Which set of lines should I be looking at in the viewfinder to frame my shot? When you have to ask this kind of basic questions then I think downloading (and reading) a user's manual would be more approriate than asking questions on a user forum.

Enjoy your new camera there are few things more annoying than self-appointed internet cops. if my lack of research is so annoying, than just move on. how this damages someone to the point where they feel the need to scold someone is always mind boggling to me. but i guess it's just ego on their part. i'm outta here.

gyoung Posted August 7, 2012 Share #8 Posted August 7, 2012 One of the first things higher education students get taught is how to research, most of us find it a rewarding skill, and saves an awful lot of effort and time reinventing the wheel, teaching grandmother to suck eggs, etc etc If all else fails read the instructions is a lazy modern habit Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted August 19, 2012 Share #9 Posted August 19, 2012 Hello Everybody, Welcome to the Forum virgilstarkwell. Sometimes people ask questions because they don't know the answer & they think asking a question is the way to find the answer. Sometimes a person who knows an answer derides another person for not knowing. Not knowing how to find out is another form of not knowing. Sometimes people who do know answers give others who don't know a hard time because someone did that to them. They see this as an opportunity to get back @ their oppressor. By creating a new oppressed person. Logically irrational. Because now there are 2 oppressed people 1 of whom is a bully & the oppressor remains as they were before. 2 wrongs do not make a right. It would be appropriate for whomever mispoke to virgilstarkwell to PM & appropriately apologize for their inappropriate actions as well as to put their apology here for all to see. As they did their inappropriate comments. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
