How far does the 35/1.2 intrude into an M VF?

[Rafael]

Does anyone have photographs showing how far a CV 35/1.2 intrudes into an M viewfinder? I have been searching through the archives for a good half hour now and I can't find any. But I seem to remember seeing some posted a while back.

At least 1/2 of the lower right quarter of the vf, maybe a little more.

It depends in what type of VF and on what camera. On my ZI at infinity and w/o the short hood, it takes away not more than 7%, with the hood and at close up, about 13%, on a Leica 0.85 about 2% more respectively, on a Bessa R4A 20% and 28%, so it is relative - For me this lens is best used on a ZI, because it blocks the smallest part of the VF, the focusing precision is great and the VF is so bright and big, that you can use it effectively in low light.

Thanks for the responses guys. I am thinking of using it on a .85x M6.
