With the 75mm mounted, you'll get the 50mm frame. With the 135mm on, you'll
see the 35mm lines. If, by chance, you put a 28mm lens on, you'll see the
90mm frame in the MP3 viewfinder.

BTW, the 50mm frame on the MP3 shows a larger amount of what you'll get on
film than what has been seen in M camera viewfinders since the 70s, when the
50mm frame was "shrunk." The 35mm and 90mm frames remain unchanged
proportionally.
