Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does the new M10 have 21mm frame lines or will I need an external viewfinder like I had to on my M240? Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here Brightline viewfinder. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted September 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2017 No 21mm frame lines in M10. You may download the manuals and more from Leica website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 8, 2017 Thank you sir No need to download the manual..................all the info is right here Neil No 21mm frame lines in M10.

a.noctilux Posted September 8, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) You are right spot on, so many informations from here are not in those Leica manuals . Like here :https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/269631-frameline-accuracy/ And LV is there when needed in M10 (or EVF).

Guest Posted September 9, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 9, 2017 Neil, you will need a bright-line external finder for anything wider than 28mm on the M10, ( as you would with any M come to that ), or you can of course use the Visoflex. In fact disappointingly I even find it hard to see the entire 28mm lines in the M10's VF and sometimes revert to using an external finder for that focal length too. The M10's VF is improved over previous M's VFs but not so much for the wider end of things which for me is an annoying fact with an otherwise perfect M. I've often wondered why with the M, a camera that really is perfect for wider lens use, Leica has never really accommodated wider lenses in it's VFs. I've a Voigtlander Bessa 4M that has a great RF VF, works just as well as the Leica M's, and it covers 21mm too. In regards to Voigtlander I've recently bought the VC 21mm Ultron with VC's 21mm bright-line clip-on VF, it's a really good combination that I am very happy with. I zone-focus with the lens and use the clip-on finder pretty much ignoring focussing with the M's VF, the depth of field is more than good enough to shoot that way, and I'm finding the Ultron to be a truly a great lens.
