Feedback welcome . I've a classic (non TTL) silver M6 from 1995 and I have also this kind of problem when I use a Elmar 50 with an adaptator. As I use mainly (95%) a 35, I must wait a few few minutes with the 50 on the camera to see the 50mm frame and sometimes I have to push the lever a little bit too - looks like there is something stiff in the viewfinder .
