My recently acquired M8 gave me the occasion to compare the finder brightlines to the actual field of view. One of my lenses is a 2.8/28 M-Rokkor (originally for the CLE). On a M6 it triggers the 35mm framelines, and on a M8 the 35 + 24 framelines. My other 28mm is the cosina-voigtlander 1.9/28, which I use with a 28/90 adapter ring. I thought both lenses had the same actual focal length, but in fact the Minolta-Rokkor is much wider than the CV: on the M8 it corresponds to the 24 mm framelines. Does anyone have an idea of which hypothesis is the right one: (1) the so-called M-Rokkor 28mm is actually a 24 or 25 mm or (2) the Rokkor 28 is really a 28, the M8 framelines are wrong and the CV 1.9/28 is a 32mm or so? Anyway I am glad that the M-Rokkor mount triggers the 24 mm framelines and I did not spend money to get a screw into the mount to get the 28mm framelines.
