Yashica T4 question

[keytarjunkie]

Hey, I just got a T4 Super D. Love it so far, but I'm kind of curious about the viewfinder. It has "framelines" that are indexed slightly inwards from the left and top sides, but not on the bottom or right. What are those for? The focusing area is right in the middle of the viewfinder, which makes it more like in the upper left corner of these framelines. Thanks....

They are the framing marks when you are shooting close to your subject and are for parallax compensation. I can't remember under what distance they are to be used at.

Ah great. That makes so much more sense.
