I have a couple of questions: 1) When mounting my 50mm Summilux, I encountered a lot more resistance than when I mount the same lens on my M6. It does mount properly, and the focusing seems OK, but the effort required is markedly higher than on the M6. Same result with my 75mm Summilux. Is that something to worry about? I.e., am I doing damage to either the lens or the M3? 2) To test the camera properly one obviously has to mount it on a tripod. Here comes the second problem. The tripod hole on the M3 is wider than on the M6 or on my SLRs, so I cannot mount it on my Bogen tripod. What are the common solutions to this problem? Thanks!
