The ribbed Leica 50mm SBOOI finder has a series of dashed lines just below the top frame lines. These are for pairing the finder with the 1F and are used as an aid for close focusing. When the same finder is used on a camera with a rangefinder, those lines hare now too high to be useful. Recently, I purchased a used Voigtlander 28mm finder. It has a series of dashed lines just below the top frame line but no indication of what they are for. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

from the B&H website entry for the Voigtlander 28mm Metal Brightline Optical Viewfinder:

"The 0.43x-magnification viewfinder's brightlines are meant to represent the appropriate field of view when focused at infinity, however a dotted set of lines can also be used to compensate for parallax when working from a focused distance of 3'.
