Subject: Re: BOOWU-M with M6

Hi Marc!

         A while back I asked you about using the BOOWU-M on the M6.  I
recently tracked one down and cannot seem to mount the collars onto the
camera...the bayonet seems too tight to turn and I fear damaging the body.
Comparing the mounts with the ones on my lenses they seem the same.  Would
you have any suggestions?

                                               Sincerely, Jamie.
