Ernie,

I just put my 28mm Rokkor on a CL and it kicks up the 40/50mm frame lines.
Furthermore, when comparing it to the 28mm field of view with an M6, the
whole CL viewfinder does show a field equivalent to that which is seen in
the M6; however, I did have to move my eye around quite a bit to see it.
