Crop and Viewfinder size M8

[elmer3.5]

Hello, i´m rather new in this forum, think´s great.

Since m8 has 1.33 sensor crop,

Are the framelines adjusted for this crop?

Does 50 mm lens displays 66.5 mm (owe) framelines?

I´ve been unable to find this, perhaps it´s too basic but i cannot figure it out!

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Yes, the M8/M8.2 frame lines take the sensor crop factor into account. Using the 50 example: the frame lines show (more or less) what will be exposed to the sensor when a 50mm lens is attached.

Best,

How else could it be? The only difference between the M8 and the M8.2 (M8u) is the distance at which the lines are accurate ( 0.7 m vs 2 m)

It´s nice to see another chilean member here! Welcome

The answer is yes, the framelines in the M8 are designed to show the field of view of the lens considering the crop.
