Advertisement Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hi Emref, Take a look here Goggled Summaron 2.8/35mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted May 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 18, 2014 Yes, it can be used on any M camera. Just note that the goggles can foul a handgrip you may have mounted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted May 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 18, 2014 I use my goggled summicron occasionally on the m6ttl, no problem. I have even had it on the nex 6 for comparison with other 35s. Looked ridiculous and proved very quickly that the aspheric 35/2 is better at large apertures! Gerry Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted May 18, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2014 Yes but the image in the viewfinder is quite small even on the M6 with a 0.85× viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much Jaapv, gyoung, OrientXI, I´m going for an M6 and was in doubt about what to do with it, what about if you remove the googles? Thank you very much Alberto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted May 18, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 18, 2014 No go, the rangefinder cam is shaped assuming the goggles are in place, without goggles the rangefinder will not be correctly coupled to the lens cam.

gyoung Posted May 19, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 19, 2014 Its something I only learnt a couple of years ago myself thanks to gentlemen here on the forum, although I have owned the 35 Summicron with goggles for more than 40 years!
