35mm framelines on H-RF

[pb908]

how big is the 35mm frameline compare to a hexar AF framelines.

I mostly shoot 35mm with film. I have HAF, once had M2, sell it to get RD1 but miss the 35mm on film. so now I am looking for a new M mount camera for my 35mm lenses.

I am searching for the "biggest" 35mm frameline I can get from any of M mount camera. please advice if H-RF will be nice category for it.

as far as I know,
M2 = 0.72x magnification, with 35mm as the biggest frameline
ZI = 0.74x, but 28mm is the biggest frameline, so 35mm will be slightly smaller than on M2
Bessa R2/r2a, 0.68x, 35mm frameline, i think it will be smaller than M2.
H-RF = 0,6x , 28mm frameline, so 35mm will be the smallest compare to either M2, ZI, or R2/R2a.. any idea ??

looking at the data above, looks like M2 is having the biggest 35mm frameline I can get, but as price is keep going up and a friend offers me his Hexar-RF (can't see the stuff yet), I was wondering if this will suits me or not (specially about the 35mm framelines, the rest is fine). as comparation, I am asking how big is the frameline compare to a H-AF (as I still have one, so I can imagine it).
please advice. thanks !!

They're about the same on HRF and HAF. Better yet, viewfinder usability for people wearing glasses is slightly better on the HRF, as the HRF VF seems to have a slightly longer eyepoint distance.

If the camera's in good shape, get it. You won't regret it.

thanks Arjay,
for me, HAF 35mm frame is good enough.
and now, I already a HRF guy (just make a deal for a mint HRF).
I don't have and don't use 135mm/75mm. just 35, 50, and 85 (well, I'll need to survive with 90 frameline)
I wonder if I can modify the frameline to be :
28-90, 35 (hide the 135) and 50 (hide the 75). maybe by putting a blocker (kind of sticker/paper) inside the assembly to hide it.. let's see if that possible.
if so, it will be a nice uncluttered RF, just like and old M2/ZI.
