I'm willing to face flame and damnation to find out if any of you have experience with this combo. XXXXXXXXXX Jim, The DR and M6 are fine, but on at least some there is a problem in trying to remove or mount the lens. You have to set the lens to infinity before removing it from the camera. One thing not yet mentioned is that for some it was popular for NOT having the focus lug on the barrel. I for one like my focus lug, and use it to estimate distance and focus while NOT looking at the camera, and whilst watching the scene. I cannot do that with the DR, so to each lens its purpose. Before I'm flamed [this is the umpteenth testy time I've lived through on the LUG] the focus lug would not work on the DR because of the "throw" of the focus barrel, being so much greater than the other Rangefinder lenses. As I said; each lens to its purpose. Cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
