Subject: [Leica] Goggles modification for 21mm/24mm M lenses

Tom A. & other LUGers,

I have been thinking wider for my M cameras, and been wondering
about external viewfinders, and how to avoid them.
What 21mm/24mm Leica lenses can be modified with goggles, 
to be used with the M6 (classic or HM).  How well do they work ?
I assume the 28mm frame lines are used;  how exact is the
framing ?  also, RF focusing, and metering can be made to
work as with other lenses ?
Any suggestions, comments, gotchas, lens recommendations ?
Perhaps just forget it altogether, and use R cameras and lenses
for wider than 28mm ?

Thanks in advance
