Mine works fine on the M6, and although there are some "quirks" to the lens, it is one of the finest ever produced for a 35mm camera, and often gets high comments from this group. Once I bolt the DR on my camera, its there to stay, as it is used for situations where the closer focus might come in handy, and I only want to carry one camera. For street shooting, I perfer the "tabed" lens, which allows me to pre-focus without looking at the lens, and if I'm carrying a "system", then the 50 is usually the Nocti, but for a lovely one on one relationship, the DR with goggles in the pocket (sometimes in a never ready case) is great for family get togethers, picnics, BBQ's sports gatherings, day trips etc. Love mine (I found one with a crack in the one goggle -- made it cheaper, and makes it easier to toss the goggles in the shirt pocket etc) Cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
