Widest frameable lens on the R3A?

[Shaocaholica]

I don't wear glasses so I can get right up close and see the whole VF image. So, what focal length lens does the full VF image in the R3A represent? Obviously theres paralax so take that into consideration or not.

It is really the 40. By "looking around the corners" you might be able to frame 35, but not
easily.

Best,

The 40 frame is not entirely visible when I wear glasses. I sometimes shoot with the 35/2.5 color skopar. With the R3A I shoot with both eyes open and have never had much problem with the 35 - Framing is done with as much of the VF as I can see. Since the arrival of the R4M, my R3A will probably only be used with a 50 and 75.

I used the 35 Skopar on my R3A using the whole VF. It seemed to work decently enough. You might get eyeball prints on the glass, though.
