I loan mine to a friend with an M-2 and take off the eyes. he has had no problems and neither have i when the eyes are replaced. the eyes are basically an accessory and have no bearing on lens function. I worry about registration when i put them back for use on the M-3, but with that set-up (M-3 and 35 w/eyes) i'm not expecting perfect registration (viewfinder image vs. what is captured on neg.) anyway. add in glasses and you're lucky to see the focusing image! sb
