But the 35mm lenses with eyes use the 50mm framelines. So if you have trouble seeing the 50mm lines on the M3 with your glasses, getting a Summicron-RF or Summaron-RF probably will not accomplish your goals. The framelines are in the same place; the image is just compressed to get the 35mm view inside them. I have a 35mm f/2.8 Summaron-RF that I like very much. I can't compare it to a modern 35mm, but it matches my DR Summicron well. /*------------------------------------------------------------- ** ** Howard Sanner ** Kirsten Flagstad Discographer ** Ampex Mailing List Founder ** flagstad@sysnet.net ** */
