Martin,

The RF Summicron 35 is the same as the "goggled" M3 version of the 35
Summicron.  Optically, the two versions are identical (RF and non-RF) from the
same period.  RF is the shorthand used to identify the "goggled" lenses.  

Leitz made "goggled" versions of the 35/2 Summicron, 35/1.4 Summilux, 35/2.8
Summaron and 35/3.5 Summaron.  The only one with detachable goggles is the
35/3.5 Summaron, unfortunately.
