So I just received a B&H Filmo Sportster which came with a 12mm lens. The viewfinder has two different sized frame guides that flip over onto the viewfinder, which I assume relate to the lens focal length. Does anybody know which frame guide to use with this size lens?

Jim,

I can offer an educated guess, since I'm only familiar with the turret models. Chances are three lenses were available: wide, standard and telephoto. The 12mm (or 12.5mm) would be the standard so the medium sized frame would be the correct choice.

Thanks. I'll have to give it a shot with the middle frame and see what happens.
