Hi,
I recently buy an Elmarit 135/2.8 (with bugeyes) . When I use the lens with my Leica M5 and focus, I have a problem. It use an 90mm frameline instead of the 135mm. Also, the [FONT=&quot]Coincidence (double image) focusing is not sharp. I can do the focus on the horizontal side but no in vertical. I know these lens do only horizontal focus, but the focus on vertical are not sharp. I use my 35mm/50mm/90mm with no focus problem. I think this can be the Elmarit 135mm? Someone has the same problem? The 135mm is in very good shape with no problem.[/FONT]

This is correct. The googles magnify the viewfinder image. As a result, you can use the 90mm framelines for your 135mm lens. Sorry, I can't help with your other problem.
 
Two answers to the OP:

1. You are getting more answers on your other thread which was posted in the V-B forum.

2. The mods should move and merge these to remove the thread in the V-B forum.
