Whenever any 35-, 50- or 90 mm LEICA lens is inserted into the M2 camera's
bayonet mount the correct focal frame automatically appears in the view-
finder. The area outlined by these frame-lines shows exactly what will be on
the negative, and the surrounding image field serves to keep the photog-
rapher aware of what's going on so that he is prepared for instant action with
fast-moving subjects. As you focus note that the highly illuminated field-
frames shift to afford continuously automatic parallax compensation at all
focusing distances.
The integral finder magnifier of the 135 mm ELMARIT f/2.8 permits this lens
to be used directly with the LEICA M 2 range-viewfinder, giving a life-sized
viewfinder image.

The Finder Frame Selector (10)
With this small lever you can at any time switch from the finder
frame of the lens in the camera to either of the other two frames.
You can therefore judge in advance which lens will produce the
best result, without having to change the lens itself. Then, when
you have made up your mind, it takes only a few seconds to fit
the required lens.
