I use an M3 and 50mmDR summicron, and i'm interested in using a 35mm 
lens.  I have tried the 35mm lenses with eyes, and don't like the viewer 
due to distortion and weight.  I am contemplating a second M body.

As an eyeglass wearer, I have been unsuccessful with the M2, which does 
not have enough eye relief for me to see the entire 35mm frame.  Of the 
M4s available, the M4-p seems to be the cheapest used, with the M4-2 
next.  I have original literature on the M4, but not the others.  Can 
someone tell me what the finder frames are for the M4p and M4-2, and if 
they have any experience of use with eyeglasses.

thanks
