rosuna Posted March 22, 2014 Share #24 Posted March 22, 2014 Matter of tastes again. I am totaly unable to compose with the idea that i will crop afterwards. This is how all rangefinders' viewfinders work. You see the whole scene and the frame, a mere "crop" of which you are seeing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the viewfinder only shows about 90% depending on the distance. At least with the digital M cameras one can get an idea of how much extra will be included in the final image when reviewing the image on the rear screen.

UliWer Posted April 9, 2014 Share #26 Posted April 9, 2014 The viewfinder of an M with a usual magnification shows much more than 100% of the full format of your photo as long as you use lenses of 28mm or longer (with the M8 the border is even at 24mm) Perhaps you mean, that the photo is always a "crop" of the full frame of your viewfinder, if you don't go below 28 (24) mm.

gyoung Posted April 9, 2014 Share #27 Posted April 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think he probably means that the brightline frames don't show 100%. Certainly the 35mm frame on my M6ttl is more like 40mm in coverage, the M3 with goggled Summicron, and my Nikon FM2 (which doesn't claim 100%) with a 35mm lens are both more accurate.

Gerry Thanks for the clarification, yes I was referring to the cropped view provided by the viewfinder's framelines which is sometimes quite noticeably less than what goes on the film or the sensor. This amount not included within the framelines varies with the distance of the object focussed on and, it seems, depends on the focal length of the lens in use.
