The agreed answer was "not really" - that it would throw off the focus. However, I note that at least one version of the 35mm f3.5 Summaron for the M3 has removable eyes. You loosen a thumbscrew and the eyes slide off - much like a 50mm DR Summicron. It doesn't appear that this shifts the focus cam, so what was the use of this feature? Enquiring minds need to know...
