Would there be a frame in the viewfinder if you mounted a leica 90mm f/2 ellmarit on the Zeiss Icon. If there is would it be the 50mm or would it change to the 85mm. Maybe dumb question but just got the camera (my first rangefinder) and was looking at a used leica 90mm. Thanks alot

I use the Zeiss Ikon as my main rangefinder body. I use the Leica 90mm apo-summicron quite frequently, and particularly for portraits. The lens brings up the 85mm framelines on the ZI. Of note, the ZI also focuses the 90mm very well, unlike some rangefinders with shorter baselines.
Enjoy your new camera, it's a beauty.

Quick note: Zeiss Ikon ... not Icon.
