Subject: [Leica] frameline removal

The unwanted lines are blocked out on the frame line mask. This is normally
done in such a way that the blockage is removable later if a future
owner/user changes mind. Typically, the 135mm frame is the first to go, so
that 35mm appears alone.

Most of the independents do this job. Dunno if Leica itself bothers any more
but did at some time in the past. May also be possible to purchase and
install a simpler mask as supplied through the 'a la carte' program.
