The bug-eyes change the 50mm frames optically to show the 35 field of view. If you put eyes on a lens not designed for them, the rangefinder is optically modified and the lens rangefinder cam will not couple correctly. I have never seen a lens, to which bug-eyes have been added, also have a modified lens cam. I think it could be done but perhaps the cost would be prohibitive.
