Subject: [Leica] Questions concerning RF framelines?

Hi folks,

      This may have been fully discussed in some previous thread. If so, I 
apologize.      

1) How did the tradition of incomplete rangefinder framelines get started
    --whereby the entire field of view is not completely bound? 
    And what was/is the reason or rationale for that?

2) I suppose the new Konica 60F1.2 is set to trigger the 50 or 75 frameline
    of the M6. If one preferred this view, could a M be modified to display
    a 60mm field of view?

3) If one preferred to have a frameline completely bound, is there a skilled
    photo repair shop that can do this? Has anyone ever had this done?

Thanks.

Alex
