I notice that David Rogers has a 21mm with goggles conversion for sale.

I need to get a 21 one of these days (replace my Nikkor 20) but was
wondering about the functionality of the 21 with goggles.

It is certainly seems more convienent then a standard 21 but HOW does it
work in the real world?

What is the view in the viewfinder? Is it diminished, where are the
approximate frame line? ...is focusing a problem? Does the metering work
with an M6?

The usual questions ..WHICH IS BETTER?

Have any of the pros on the list  used the goggled 21 professionally?

...MY GOD, I'VE ASKED AN ON TOPIC TECHNICAL QUESTION 
... I gotta go lie down.  :^)
