One other thing that I found out about mounting a DR Summicron on the M6 TTL
is that you need to set the focusing ring on infinity before you mount it.

There was a very good article about lens compatibility with different M
cameras in either the last Viewfinder magazine or the one before that, and
this was one of those little suggestions to keep from damaging the camera.
