Subject: [Leica] re: summicron 50 dr + m6?

Thanks for everybody's advice on using the DR summicron with my M6
(TTL).  It doesn't sound like it's such a joy to use, and I'm not sure
I want to buy equipment that I have to machine in order to be able to
use.

Is there a technical reason why most of the rangefinder lenses don't
focus as closely as their corresponding ones for SLRs?  I figured that
I'd be able to focus through the normal viewfinder, and then I could
move the camera such that the lens ends up being where the viewfinder
was, and then shoot to compensate for the different angles of view.
