There are a thousand issues which divide Leica shooters, and this is
probably the most extreme.  Perhaps a majority of users find glasses and
Leica M's are a sad mix;  a minority seem to experience no problems.  I
suspect the answer is found in the darkroom:  if you are a fill-the-frame
photographer, glasses will be a problem, as they DO cut off a bit of the
edges.  If you always crop a bit, glasses will probably not be noticeable in
your work.
