Or maybe they just did not test certain lenses. I just compared how much the 
rear element protrudes with my various lenses. The Leica 2.5/35mm Summarit 
(which is not listed at all) protrudes less than the 50mm Summilux (which is 
listed). On the other hand, the 4/21mm CV is listed as YES in the LTM mount 
but not listed at all in the M mount (the one I have). I think I will need 
to try for myself (carefully).

Cheers,
Nathan
