Contax G2 VF question.

[sepiareverb]

Quick question that someone with a G2 and a 28mm lens can answer:

Is the built-in viewfinder field of view any different when the 28 is mounted than when no lens is mounted at all? I'm curious if the FOV is wider when no lens is mounted, and I no longer have a 28 to check...

Thanks in advance.

Bob, when I put a 28 on my G1, the view is the same as without a lens mounted...hope this helps.

Answers yes- helps not quite 😉.

I realized today that the 21 and 16 have no VF cam on the mount- but the 28 does. As I'm hacking my 45 to bring up the 35 VF FOV- or more precisely closer to a 100% VF- I was suddenly wondering that since the 28 had a cam maybe it shifted the VF too, and one might be able to use the 28 with closer to a 100% FOV.

Seems like a no.
