If you mount a 35mm Summicron on the M8, will the 50mm framelines show up?

No, the 24/35 framelines show and these already take account of the crop factor - that is the "35" framelines show the FOV of a 47mm (approx) lens - the 35mm times the crop factor (35 x 1.33). All the M8 framelines show the correct M8 FOV for the lens being used (accuracy issues notwithstanding).

Neat. Thats what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I've played with a few M8s, but the question just popped into my head last night when I was laying in bed.
