This lens is designed for the M3 and brings up the 50mm frame which is then magnified by the "Eyes" making the view equivalent to the field of a 35mm lens. The lens also brings up the 50MM frame on the M6. A newer non M3 designed 35MM lens brings up the 35MM frame on the M6. I also use a 90 C on the M6 without any problems. John D.
