The Leica literature all said that the reason for the "goggles" on the 135 f2.8 Elmarit was because that was required to get accurate focussing due to the lack of DOF at f2.8 (although I have always suspected that it was partly because it was a photojournalist lens and at the time it was introduced the PJ's favoured the M2 which did not have a 135 frame-line). Since the 3.4 is between the f4 and f2.8 I am wondering if it is *necessary* to use an M6HM or M3 to focus it sharply at f3.4, or if a standard M6 is adequate. Thank you kindly.
