OK. Just pulled an M2 out of the *always-ready-to-go-bag* and tried your
suggestion. Moved my eye to the left so that the top plate started to
encroach into the viewdinder. No change at all in the rangefinder patch all
the way up to disapearing behind the top plate.

 Tried the M3 and the patch disappears. That is interesting. I must be very
good at keeping my eye centered on the patch because never saw that happen
before with the M3.

BTW, both my M2s have the M4P rangefinder installed.

Will try the M6TTLs later.

I guess I should feel lucky that this is not a problem for me.
