CL Frame Lines Questions

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, but I'll ask just in case. Is there anyway to get the 90 frame lines to come up if all I have is a 50 adaptor?

Similarily, if a 135 adaptor is used on the CL, what frame lines are shown?

Thanks,

William

First one: No. Have to have the 90 adapter.

Second one: I'll Check.

IIRC, the standard framelines are up with the 35/135 adapter.

Yeah, got busy last night packaging items for tomorrows outgoing mail.

I've had the 135 Hektor on the CL. Wanted to see how the focus was compared with the M3. I could get it to where the DOF would cover any error, with some squinting and time.

Ok, that's what I had thought on both questions. But it's OK because this morning I found a Canon 100 finder that I got from joe back when I first had a J-9 on the Kiev 4 I used to have. It will suffice until I can scrounge the pennies for a 90 adaptor.

Thanks guys.

William
