It's close Mike, try this...

Take a short piece of electrician's tape.  Place it on top of the body over
the window for the frame lines (center window).  Have the tape extend
forward enough so that if you fold it down over the window, it will cover
it.

This will eliminate all of the projected framelines so that the very outer
part of the viewfinder comes close to the coverage of the 35.
