     Leslie - You have to think about this for a few minutes and then
     you will suddenly realize that while the 28-50 ring will take the
     LTM 28mm - the ring is actually for the 50mm and will bring up
     the 50 & 75 frames on your M6.  You need the ring that has only
     90mm engraved on it, it brings up the 90 & 28 together.
     If you are not able to find a 90 ring, I have an extra one.

 Thank you, Marvin.
 Could you or someone please explain the following for me:
 
 I have a 28-50 adapter ring, and when I use it with a
 Ricoh 28mm on M6, the frames shown in the viewfinder are
 for 50 and 75.
 If I deliberately mount the adapter at some place before or
 after I get the click sound (by the "red-dot" mount-lock),
 I can get the other set of frames.  But I doubt this
 is a correct way an adpter works.
 
 Thank you in advance.
