Image Frame Selector - Leica MP Instructions Manual

Image frame selector

The image frame selector (20) expands the pos-
sibilities of the LEICA MP viewfinder. This built in
universal viewfinder allows you to activate bright-
line frames at any time, which do not belong to
the lens currently being used. You can then see
immediately if, for image composition reasons, it
would be better to photograph the relevant sub-
ject using a different focal length.
If the lever is pushed outwards, i.e. away from
the lens, the image frames for the focal lengths
35 and 135 mm appear (not the image frame for
135mm focal length on the LEICA MP 0.58).
If the lever is moved to its vertical central positi-
on, the image frames for the focal lengths 50
and 75 mm appear.
If the lever is pushed inwards, i.e. towards the
lens, the image frames for the focal lengths 28
and 90 mm appear on the LEICA MP with 0.72 x
viewfinder magnification, and only the bright-line
frames for 90 mm focal length on the model with
0.85 x viewfinder magnification.
