Subject: RE: [Leica] Converting a 35mm Summaron w/ eyes ?

The only purpose of the eyes is to enlarge the image, both RF and VF.  The
eyes do nothing more.  Therefore, you WILL SEE larger images but the area
covered by the image is the same as without the eyes... this is true for the
35 Summaron, etc, as well as the 135  Elmarit with eyes....

They should work fine on wither a M3, M2, M4 or M6... Of course, they work
lousy on the M5 and CL/CLE, and even worse on the M1 and worse yet on the
MD/MDA!
