Subject: Re: [Leica] Telyt 200

I hate to revisit this topic.  I called a knowledgeable Leica dealer =
today to order a 14167 adapter.  I want to adapt my 1962 vintage 4/200 =
Telyt to my NEW (to me) R6.  I have been using the Telyt on a Viso III =
with the 16466M adapter.

The dealer told me that it would not work.  So the real world question =
is:
Will a R6 > 14167 > 16466M > 4/200 Telyt work?

My interpretation of the LAG is that it will work and that by using the =
14167 rather than 14127 adapter I will retain the use of the metering =
system.  Is that correct?  (I understand that I will not have an =
automatic lens, but I will have a 200mm now instead of saving for the =
next year to get a comparable length).
