andybarton Posted March 20, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted March 20, 2013 Yes. What frame lines does it bring up? It will obviously be just a bit less than the 90 framelines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share #3 Â Posted March 20, 2013 35, 50 and 90, Andy. Â I thought as much re the 90 frame lines but it's always worth throwing the question in just in case I've missed something obvious. Â Not that I've done that before or anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enboe Posted March 20, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted March 20, 2013 If precision framing is important, perhaps an external auxiliary finder is in order. I have heard of people making thin lines with an erasable marker on a 90 finder to portray the 105 field of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share #5 Â Posted March 20, 2013 I'm going to have a play with the lens and see how it works out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted March 21, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted March 21, 2013 Actually, at longer distances (> 2.5 meters), the "90" lines in most Ms are a perfect match for 105mm. Confirmed back when I first got my M4-2, and compared the 90 framelines to the view with a Nikon F3 100% finder and a 105. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 21, 2013 Share #7  Posted March 21, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's what I thought, when I used the 1:6.3/10.5 cm Elmar ("Berg-Elmar"). Though it was not true, as I kept cutting off parts of the picture.  Two examples:  1. feet: Welcome, dear visitor!

Â There are versions of the Leitz Vidom and perhaps of the Viooh viewfinder which have marks for 105mm - though they are rare since the only Leitz lens with this focal length (the "Berg-Elmar") was also rare.
