Be sure you know the real cost of the lens or you may end up paying more than necessary. >2. I saw a 35mm Summaron on ebay. It has the attached magnifiers which fit >over the body of the camera.

This is a lens made originally for the M3 that had only a 50mm frame so it magnifies the 50mm frame to be the same coverage as the 35mm angle of view. Do not remove the eyes (magnifiers) this lens will work on the M6...it will call up the 50mm lines and they will be magnified to the 35mm view with the eyes in place. >3.
