Zeiss ZM versus Leica M7 Framelines

I have been interchanging my 28mm and 50mm Zeiss lenses between the Zeiss ZM and Leica M7 bodies. I like each camera body but for different reasons (material for a seperate post once I can speak intelligently).
I wear eyeglasses therefore my observation may only apply to those of us RFers that wear eyeglasses (visually impaired). I have found the Zeiss body highlights the frameline better when shooting with a 28mm Zeiss lens (over the M7) while the Leica M7 body is superior when shooting the 50mm Zeiss lens.

Whether this result would be different when shooting with 28mm and 50mm Leica lenses I don't know but just an observation.
