Frame preselector
The frame preselector lever (18) extends the
possibilities of the LEICA M6 TTL viewfinder.
Using this integrated universal viewfinder, you
can view frames which do not correspond to
the lens which is actually fitted. Thus, you can
test whether the composition would be better
served by a different focal length.
When the lever is pointing outwards, i.e. away
from the lens, the frames for the 35 and 135
mm focal lengths are displayed.
When the lever is in its vertical, central posi-
tion, the frames for the 50 and 75 mm focal
lengths are shown.
When the lever is pointing inwards, i.e.
towards the lens, the LEICA M6 TTL view-
finder with 0.72x magnification displays the
frames for the 28 and 90 mm focal lengths,
and the 0.85x magnification viewfinder only
shows the bright-line frame for the 90 mm
focal length.
