Michael,
The M3 Summaron 35mm/f3.5 with eyes does require the eyes to focus properly 
using the rangefinder in the body, according to my recent experience, and 
most of the discussions on this subject in the archives. My particular body 
is a M6 which does just fine with other lenses. The Leica repairman that 
cleaned the lens for me said that the focusing cam could be reshaped to match 
the Body rangefinder, but that is a rather costly job and not reversible if I 
later get a set of eyes for it.

Thanks for the note on adjusting the rangefinder eccentric.  Regards, Paul 
Connet
