Pascal,

Neither the 90mm Elmarit nor the 90mm Apo Summicron intrude into the 90mm frame.

90/2.8 on the M6 classic (0.72X).

I realized, however, that the question on viewfinder intrusion was not 
clear enough. I did not mean obscuring of the viewfinder as such, but 
rather the area between the 90mm frames in the viewfinder. So would the 
Elmarit-M 90/2.8 obscure the 90mm area in the viewfinder, with lens hood 
extended to its maximum position of course?

This is the case with the Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH with hood attached, it 
obstructs a sizeable part of the 35mm frames in the viewfinder.
Thanks.

Pascal
