Has anyone tried a 50mm dual range summicron on the M8?

It's not supposed to work on the M6ttl, but I have been using that combo.

The reason it is not supposed to work on the M6ttl (and M7, I presume) is because of a small tab on the "goggles" which won't clear the taller top plate of the M6ttl (and M7). I have removed this tab, and am able to use the goggles on my M6ttl. I use the lens quite often, but 99% of the time without the goggles. There is no problem mounting the lens.

The 50mm "DR" Summicron is listed as one of the "cannot be used" lenses listed in the M8 manual. Is this only because of the little goggles, or is there some interference issue with the lens?

Thanks, David.
