Subject: [Leica] 35 Summicron with "eyes" on M2(4,6)?
From: "Peter A. Klein" <pklein@2alpha.net>

Is anybody on the list using the 35 Summicron with "goggles" that's meant
for the M3, but using it on an M2, M4, or M6 so it reduces the image to fit
in the 50mm frame?

I'm a glasses wearer, and I'm finding that I can't see the whole 35mm frame
on my M4-P unless I move the camera around.  I'm wondering if an old 35
Summicron with goggles might be a viable solution?  Or just live with not
seeing the edges of the frame?

I know, laser surgery or contact lenses would probably be the ultimate
solution.  But somehow, I don't want to alter my body for a camera, even if
it *is* a Leica...  :-)
