Hi,

 

With this lens, you should be using the outer set of frame-lines as in the below picture. You may get a slight amount of extra image in the final result depending upon the distance. (The M8 frame-lines are most accurate at short distances.) But it should be pretty accurate. I hope this helps. If not, please can you post an example describing the problem in more detail?

The M8's finder frames were set to include everything that one would get on the sensor at closest focus distance.

 

As one focuses away from closest distance, the effective lens coverage widens. That way, the camera will always give you at a minimum what you see in the finder frames.

 

I'm not sure, but I think that may be what you're describing. If your file includes more than what you expected, the camera is working as designed.

 

Since the frames can only be exact for one distance, Leica's viewpoint was that you're better off getting more than you expected than less.

 

There was a tremendous amount of discussion on the matter here, as you can see if you try the forum's search function.

 

See particularly Carsten Whimster's posts at http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/31212-frameline-accuracy-comparison.html.
