I'm interested in 35 v1 but my friend told me I can't use the goggles version of this lens for my M6 TTL?

So can I use the lens with goggles for my M6 TTL?
If yes, will I need to do anything before use it or not?

Actually I'm looking for lens that can give me good tone, low contrast, and good micro detail.(Good for B&W photo because I shoot 80-90% B&W photo)

That's why I'm looking for V1 summicron 35 (Follow some information from internet included here)

But if anyone got any experience with another lens that can offer me that I'm looking for, please let me know.

Normally the most I use is 35mm-70% and 50 mm 20 %, so I'm thinking about 28mm too.

PS. Sorry for my language skill , I'm just students from oversea in Boston.

Thanks.
 
The M6TTl and cameras that came after it have a slightly higher top cover than the older M's by about 2mm. This means mounting a DR Summicron with eyes are an obstacle without removing a plastic tab on the goggle/eyes that rest on the top cover.
For goggled Summicrons and Summarons there is no plastic tab that rests on the top cover. It can mount on an M3 or M6TTL or M8 for example.

The lens will bring up the 50mm framelines, the goggles will de magnify the 50mm framelines to resemble 35mm. When looking straight through the center the edges will be a little soft. It also lowers the contrast of the viewfinder, the condition of the goggles will affect the clarity such as haze.

It's fairly easy to use the goggled lenses on an M3 since they were designed to be used on the M3 which did not have 35mm framelines. Lower magnification viewfinders are usable but not as nice as on an M3.

That mean I 'll see 50 frame line as 35 frame line?
The picture in the 50 frame line after magnify is same as 35mm right?

I'm using 0.72 viewfinder.

Thanks.

Yes. It will work alright, don't worry.

There is one additional advantage: it will focus closer than any other 35mm lens (.65m).
