hexar rf serial numbers

[aizan]

as there have been some tweaks to the hexar rf's design, let's figure out some cutoff numbers to best ensure a good body.

mine is #1443xxx. it's in the shop for "leaky" framelines.

both of dante's were fine: 14462xx and 14506xx.

Not sure what is meant by "leaky" framelines. I do know that if I have an M adaptor mounted on the camera, toggling between framelines sometimes causes the framelines to hang up slightly, so that I can see two different sets of framelines at once. A slight nudge to the preview lever is all that's required. But anyway, mine is #14444xx.

is your adaptor for 50mm? mine also hung up with the 50/2 m-hexanon mounted, so maybe it isn't an adapter issue.

as for leaky framelines, it happened in diffuse lighting or when a light source was just out of view. it just didn't mask the framelines completely, regardless of the lens mounted.
