BRIGHT-LINE VIEW- AND RANGEFINDER
This camera’s bright-line view- and rangefinder is not only a very
high-quality, large, brilliant and bright viewfinder, it is also a highly
accurate rangefinder coupled to the lens. All Leica M lenses with
focal lengths from 16 to 135mm connect automatically when at-
tached to the camera. The viewfinder has a magnification factor of
0.72x.
When using lenses with focal lengths of 28 (Elmarit from serial
number 2 411 001), 35, 50, 75, 90 and 135mm, the relevant
bright-line frame is automatically illuminated in the combinations
28+90mm, 35+135mm, 50+75mm. As soon as the camera elec-
tronics are switched on, they appear - illuminated in white by LEDs
- together with the LEDs of the exposure meter, or the LED flash
symbol on the lower edge of the viewfinder image.
The bright-line frames are linked to the range setting to ensure that
the parallax - the offset between the lens and the viewfinder axis -
is automatically compensated. At a distance of below 2m the sen-
sor detects slightly less than shown by the inner edges of the
bright-line frame, and slightly more at longer distances (see adja-
cent diagram). These slight variations, which are hardly ever critical
in practice, are due to the operating principle.
Bright-line frames on a viewfinder camera must be matched to the
angle of view of the relevant lens focal lengths. However, the nomi-
nal angles of view change slightly when focusing due to the chang-
ing extension, i.e. the distance between the optical system and the
sensor plane. If the set distance is less than infinity (and the exten-
sion correspondingly greater), the actual angle of view is smaller -
the lens captures less of the subject. In addition, the differences in
the angle of view tend to be greater at longer focal lengths, as a
result of the greater extension.
In the middle of the viewfinder image is the square range metering
field, which is brighter than the surrounding image field. For more
details about setting the distance and exposure metering, as well
as flash mode, refer to the relevant sections.

Set to 0.7m: The sensor detects approx. one frame width less.
Set to 2m: The sensor detects exactly the image field shown by
the inner edges of the bright-line frame.
Set to infinity: The sensor detects approx. 1 to 4 (vertical or hori-
zontal) frame width(s) more.
