How does he do that?? > > Carl ========================================================== Hi Carl, My 135mm Elmarit has 'specs' which, as I understand it, somehow optically adapt the 90mm frame lines on my M2. The 135 frame lines on the M6 are ignored in favour of the 90mm frame lines which are again adjusted by the 'specs. Hope that helps. Hope also that it's correct, if not it's entirely possible that someone will point out my error :-) - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
