Framelines question

[darkness2505]

Hi,

To all of you with a CL, can you tell me if you unmount the lens from the body, do the 50mm framelines show up as well?

This is because I have recently acquired a CLE rokkor 40mm and I found out when I use it on my CL, the 50mm framelines show up. And when my CL has no lens attached, the 50mm frameline is visible too.

I remember very clearly when I used a LTM 28mm lens with a 28mm CV LTM mount (which I dont have anymore now) the 50mm framelines were not visible.

So I would like to know if it is my CL's problem or if the rokkor has been modified.

Thanks

Yes, I've confirmed this is the way mine works. The 50mm only seems to disappear with a 90mm lens attached (or rather, a lens that triggers the 90mm framelines).

I've also checked against the instruction manual for my CL, which says: "On fitting 40mm, 50mm or 90mm lenses, the corresponding bright-line frame automatically appears in the finder. The 40mm frame is always visible. With a 40mm lens on the camera, the 50mm frame also remains in view."

I don't find this that annoying, but it is busier than it needs to be.

Thanks, I would've preferred the 50 lines to be invisible.
