The 35mm frame will not be activated (the 50mm one will be) but most importantly the focusing will not be right. This is easy to see, set an image in focus, remove the specs/goggles and note that the coincident r/f image is no longer coincident. The lenses do more than merely magnify the field frame. Jem (who once bought a 35mm lens without any goggles attached and wondered why it wouldn't focus...)
