question about the framelines and VF in the bessa
The bessa R widest frame line is 35mm
But i know that is still only a central portion of the VF.
i am wondering what mm is the whole complete VF approximately to?
thanks

Hi -
I'm fairly new myself, but I look thru my Bessa-R, when the frameline switch is set to the 35/90 position,
the 35mm view nearly fills the viewfinder (it's surrounded by the long lines making up the box, but doesnt meet in the corners, only a few mm left outside of these lines but visible in the viewfinder)
the four small angles corners that mark the center square makes up the 90mm.
Steve.
*(ps,just had to answer since i'm - Pisc.NJ)

Hey you guys are in the NY area too. I'm from Staten Island. Doesn't seem like too many RFers around. Everyonce in a while I will see a few Leicas in the city but never a Bessa.
