The last time I had a goggled lens was in '93 or so, and I thought I remembered not being able to mount it with the pre-M grip installed (this was the non-Leica, US-made grip that was available before Leica's M-grip). But now you have me wondering whether my memory could be entirely wrong. I thought I was on this planet in '93, but maybe not...I"ll have to try a goggled lens soon and see what the story really is.
