question about the framelines and VF in the bessa

[haagen_dazs]

The bessa R widest frame line is 35mm
But i know that is still only a central portion of the VF.

i am wondering what mm is the whole complete VF approximately to?
thanks

Could it possibly be 28mm?

Hi -
I'm fairly new myself, but I look thru my Bessa-R, when the frameline switch is set to the 35/90 position,
the 35mm view nearly fills the viewfinder (it's surrounded by the long lines making up the box, but doesnt meet in the corners, only a few mm left outside of these lines but visible in the viewfinder)
the four small angles corners that mark the center square makes up the 90mm.

Hey you guys are in the NY area too. I'm from Staten Island. Doesn't seem like too many RFers around. Everyonce in a while I will see a few Leicas in the city but never a Bessa.
