[John McMaster]

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
