Ken - I have the opposite experience - the spectacled 35's activate the correct M6 or M4-P frame with or without goggles. The benefit in exchange for the minimized image without goggles is no viewfinder smearing and a less awkward, (streamlined) pocketable assembly. Ian - the Summaron is a good lens, but to me not as satisfying all around as any of the Summicrons. I have not used my Summaron is a long time. BTW, I wonder what you think of the pictures posted at http://www.h2soft.com/nepal/nepal.htm Regards, John Barnabas
