The 2/5cm Leitz Summicron DF/NR should work with the M6, though I understand that problems have occurred. It will not work with the M6 TTL or M7 due to the higher deck height of these cameras, though a locating tab can be filed off of the "eyes" to allow them to fit on these later cameras. My first-generation 2/5cm DR works perfectly on my early (Wetzlar) M6. It is a wonderful lens, quite sharp, though lacking the contrast offered by later designs.
