There are three differnent types, all will mount the lens and couple the rangefinder, but using the proper one will also invoke the proper frame lines. The adapters are marked with what lens they are intended for. My personal experience with these lenes -- The Canon 85 F2 and Nikon 105 F2.5 are both excellent, as is the Canon 35mm f2 (the last black model). The Canon 28mm f3.5 is good but nearly as good as the Leica 28 Summaron. IMHO kw >>So, could someone please clarify this for me? What Nikon/Canon rf lenses >>could I use on an M6, what mount are they, what adapter is required, and >>would the rangefinder couple properly? (Fingers crossed hoping for easy- >>to-understand answer...). I'll understand this or go mad trying. ---- Ken Wilcox Carolyn's Personal Touch Portraits Davison Middle School preferred---> <wilcox@umcc.umich.edu> 600 Dayton, Davison, MI 48423 <kwilcox@genesee.freenet.org>
