That is one of a few lenses I would not recommend it with, I do not think 
Gerry has any of them...

John,

In my opinion this option has two inconvenients, the thickness is not the 
same as the original LEica one and can affect focusing precision, I have 
inteded this on my Summilux 75 and I was completely unable to mount it 
again, I had to go to a Service.

I still have (I think) this peace and I offer to everyone of you for free if 
you want it

Lluis
