The BOOWU-M/BOOWUM/16526 should work on an M6.  It will work WITHOUT an
additional adapter with the 2/50 Summicron.  The UOORE/16508 adapter is used
ONLY with the first-generation rigid or NF lens, where the lens head can be
unscrewed from the lens body.  If you leave the lens together, or have a
later Summicron, you don't need the adapter.
