Subject: 35mm on M3

LUGnuts,

any experiences with the use of a _non-external viewfinder_ 35mm
lens on a M3.  Clearly, the problem here is that the viewfinder
frames of the M3 start with 50mm, but since the fiewfinder is
larger than the 50mm frame and since one need not to look to the
viewfinder concentrically, does the standard viewfinder of the M3
suffice, i.e., is precise enough to obtain the right angle of view?
Any other technical problems (e.g., focussing) when using a modern
Summicron or Summilux 35mm on a M3?

Thanx much for your help.
