JNK100 Posted September 8 Share #2 Posted September 8 It's not difficult for Leica to do this. It is.by design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 8 Share #3 Posted September 8 Because Leica wants to stay close to the frameline experience of the Leica M. And: The sensor will record the full frame anyway, the lines are nothing more than a framing aid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtodrick Posted September 8 Share #4 Posted September 8 Because in many situations (such as street) it is handy to see what is about to enter the frame before it actually does. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted September 8 Share #5 Posted September 8 It really should be an option. Framing at the larger crops becomes quite unwieldy. Partially because an EVF can never have the clarity of a rangefinder OVF, which is just so much crisper, especially when only viewing a small portion. I agree that it is nice to have the framelines, but it would also be nice to be able to see the cropped in areas, particularly if you generally like to photograph with a 35mm view in mind, for example. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. At least with the Q3 (I'm not sure about firmware updates on the Q2) you can also see your grid lines within the frame lines. It makes things a little easier. But I agree, it should be up to the user. As far as the argument for being able to see things before they enter the frame, the area around the frame lines doesn't need to be as large as it is with the 75mm and 90mm crops.

That would be your opinion. In the film days I had no issue with the frame lines in my M4 cameras. Nor in my Q. Though I will agree it would likely be easy enough to make it an option. But as said before…no one here can do this, so fly it by Leica. Edited September 9 by bobtodrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcolton Posted September 15 Share #12 Posted September 15 (edited) I set my top button (the button inside the top wheel) to 'magnification' mode, so in the live view you can zoom in either 3x or 6x, even in auto-focus mode.

If people wanted an M, they would get an M for God's sake... Also, they can just make it an option for us M-disrespectful folk and be done with it. Having said that, now that I have jumped ship to Hasselblad after having the Q2 as my only camera for a while, they decided to address two of my main concerns, i.e. the tilting screen and the very wide lens. Kudos for listening to customers! This Q3 43 looks like one hell of a camera, much more capable than the previous iterations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
