I have been using a 90mm 2.8TE on my M6, and notice that the brightlines for 28, wich shows with the 90 are very sharp. As are the 135 "j" shaped lines, which show virtually all the time, no matter which lens I have on. But the lines for the 90 are very faint, sometimes only a small strip on lines. Has anyone else notices this, or is it a problem on my 6 ? Fortunately, when using the 90, I usually compose in the centre, so it hasn't been a problem to date. And should the 135 lines be present all the time? thanks for that, P Nelson

Time for a service. The 135 framelines should not show all the time and the 90 framelines should be clear and bright. The framelines appear in pairs: 35 and 135; 50 and 75; and, 28 and 90. Only one pair should be visible at a time.

Cheers,

The bright lines for my 90mm lens (M6 0.58) are very faint on the right hand side. I started a question on the topic on this list and the answers were generally the same. Brightlines are not always so bright and depend a lot on the lighting.
