I apologize if this has been asked and answered, I searched here and on the net and can't seem to find a response. Do any of the Leica goggle lenses align properly on the Epson RD-1? thank you
 
Not with the goggles installed, which kind of takes the point out of them.

The DR Summicron is usable without the goggles in the normal range, but not in the close range of course.
 
The goggle are constructed to fit an M body. Each "eye" goes in front of a finder window on the body.

Since the corresponding "Windows" on the body of the R-D1 are at quite different places with respect to the lens socket, the goggles will in fact obstruct the view through the viewfinder. You will be blind.

The lens itself will work properly and can be focussed by using the scale or by dead reckoning.
