bosjohn Posted September 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered but I have not found it yet. when attaching the 21 mm m lens or any other lens that requires a separate view finder which frame line will be visible in the main finder? On the .72 cameras I thought this was the fifty mm frame set but the question has come up in the dp review leica talk so now I am not so sure. so any one with an M9 and 21 put it on your camera and tell me what frame line shows in the view finder. thanks John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Hi bosjohn, Take a look here m9 and default frame lines. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Shootist Posted September 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2009 Does it really matter since you need a external VF for the 24, 21 and wider lenses. Sorry I don't have a M9 but I would suspect it will be the same as on a film M with x.72 finder. All the other framelines are the same as on a film M and all 21mm lenses have the same, or are supposed to have the same, lens mount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpleica Posted September 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2009 I asked this same question last week to the people at Dale Photo in FL and the answer was, that with the 24mm lens attached, the 35/135 framelines come up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted September 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2009 Frameline sets (i.e. lenses that are keyed on the lens mount to bring up the same framelines) WATE(Super-Wide Tri-Elmar) + 21 bring up 28/90 18 = 50/75 24 = 35/135 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted September 21, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 21, 2009 Framelines are important with both the M8 and the M9 as the lens identification works not only from the 6-bit coding, but also from the position of the frame lever. So both must agree. 21mm lenses must key in the 28/90 frames. 24mm, as stated above, need 24/35/135.
