Tom,

As far as I know, based on a recent experiment with an M6, there 
shouldn't be any problem. The windows are "flush" (changed on the last 
versions of the M4-P), but don't interfere with the viewfinders of any 
of the so-equipped lenses.  The 135 Elmarit is a perfect example of a 
lens designed with "bug-eyes" that is a perfect fit with the M6.
