I just tried it after noticing what a compact lens the 40 is. My concern is about the supposed focusing incompatibility between M and CL lenses due to a difference in the focusing mechanism on the lens. If you compare the bit of metal that hits the focusing cam, the CL lens has a much steeper cut as Leica claims. I cannot comment on how this affects focus, as I have not gotten that film back from the lab yet, but stephen gandy (www.cameraquest.com) comments that the focusing appears to work fine when mixing and matching lenses. - ----Original Message----- >From: Five Senses Productions <fls@5senses.com> >You can fit a CL 40/2 on an M6? >And it's smaller than a 50/2.8 retracted? >Wow.....where do I get one? >
