[Leica] Newbie question about frame line accuracy

[saganicc at mskcc.org (Saganich, Christopher/Medical Physics)]

Being a recent Rangefinder convert I found that I only notice this when I 
shoot close with my 35mm.  I'm always thinking, "did I frame it like that?"  
It is subtle but I always think, at close range, I have more on the right 
side of the frame then ends up on the frame.  Real or imagined I can never 
tell.  This is all part of the joy of learning about your rangefinder.

Thanks. I'm not complaining, I was just curious about the function
of my beloved new cameras and why this mis-feature I've read about
might not have been "fixed" in the 50 years of Leica development.
