Nokton f/1.1 on a Bessa-T?

Does anybody here have experience using the Nokton f/1.1 on a T?

I am looking at buying one, but I am afraid it is so big as far as diameter, that it will encroach into the small rangefinder window of the T. I shoot in low light pretty often, the huge aperture would come in very handy. I find myself all to often having to pull my film to get usable shutter speeds.

I have been using the Nokton 50 f1.1 on my Bessa T's. It works very well, the magnified view as well as the diopter adjustment makes it easy to pin-point focus. The top-mounted finder also allows you to "see" above the lens.
When I still had Noctluxe's I also preferred them on the T's for the same reason. Only problem is if you are shooting fast moving stage-acts or street crowds - the split second between focus and shifting to the finder takes a bit to get used to. In low light you will find that the meter read out at the back of the T will baffle people around you as your face is suddenly "lit" up a bit by the diodes!
