Ok, call me stupid but ...

35, 50 and 90, Andy.

 

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.

 

Not that I've done that before or anything ;)

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.

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.

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:

2. beer glass and man in uniform on the right, legs of the people in the front

 

 

 

So my advise would be to look narrower than the frames for 90mm

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.
