Horace, the Hexanon 60/1,2 works well on M3's and M6's. the only problem I 
have had with mine is that it 'disengages" from the focus mechanism at about 
0,8meter. That means that if you are shooting closer than 0.8/0,9 meters, it 
suddenly skips the cameras focus. Once you remember that, you are OK with the 
lens. Oh, it has a nice vented hood that has a rotating mount. This means 
that if you use it on a LTM camera and the thread in the mount would put the 
hood in a position that blocks the viewfinder, you can "adjust" the hood so 
that the "vent" is in the correct position.
