I was thinking about the removal of the frame line lever on the M and it occurred to me that, since the projected frame lines are not mechanical anymore (it uses an lcd), it seems like it would have been even easier to have a method of showing any frame line desired. Can anyone explain why that\'s not the case?
The frame lines in the M are just as mechanical as the ones in the M9 or any other M body. The lens mount selects the right one.
Difference is they are not illuminated any more with daylight but by a LED light build in the camera. So thats why there is a window less at the front.
No LCD us used for them.
Reading the RED dot website, because the frame lever was expensive to build in, and because not many people seems to use it (?) they left it out.
