- Frame selector - Lever enabling alternative frame pairs to be displayed in the viewfinder without changing lenses (e.g. for framing comparisons)
- Parallax compensation - The horizontal and vertical differences between the viewfinder and lens axes are automatically compensated for in relation to the focusing distance
- Concordance of viewfinder and film image - The bright-line frame size corresponds to an image size of approx. 23 × 35 mm at the minimum focusing distance for all focal lengths; focused at infinity, and depending on the focal length, approx. 9% (28 mm) to 23% (135 mm) more will be captured on the film than is shown in the corresponding brightline frame
