Take a piece of black tape (I use gaffer-tape) and stick it over the frame-line illumination window (thats the one next to the viewfinder window). This 'blanks" out the framelines in the finder and all that remains is the rangefinder patch and the edge of the viewfinder. This is close enough for 28mm work for me. I find that if the framelines are still visible, I keep confusing myself and look at the framelines. Works like a charm with the 28/2,8 Ricoh too, except that the lens is so small that I keep thinking I have a 35/2 on the camera! Tom A
