While I´m on the topic, what exactly is happening when that wheel in the camera body gets pushed in or out?
Are the framelines mentioned in my original post being projected from the lens or are they embedded in the viewfinder and merely shift according to the wheel depression/lens type?
As you focus the lens, the cam drives that wheel in and out of the camera body, driving the central rangefinder patch and also driving the framelines diagonally from upper left to lower right in the viewfinder.

Ok, so focusing drives the focus patch alignment, obviously, but focusing itself results in the diagonal shift of the framelines? I´ve never seen my framelines shift as I focus. I´m not understanding that part. I know that pushing the wheel does that, but I didn´t realize that focusing the lens pushes on the wheel? What I understand is that depending on the lens type, the wheel is pushed to a certain depth in a one time movement.
I see ...
Once again, thought I wouldn't have anything more to add to this thread, but I've been reading about some models having "misaligned" framelines ...
I'm so new to this I probably wouldn't know if mine were misaligned.
Does this mean that when you focus, the two images in the center patch never really align perfectly with each other and therefore you can't get super sharp focus?
Ok, so there's no way to know if it's misaligned until I do the test.
I DO notice that when I'm focusing on a small object a few meters away in the focus patch, when it's supposedly fully aligned, it doesn't look as crisp as when I do it with a vertical line like a wall edge or signpost.

Just go shoot already!
