Similarly, I have NEVER been able to figure out why all other M ( or SM lens for that matter ) are supposedly NOT guaranteed compatible with focusing on CL's. I'm not refering to lens back protruding too far issues or short rangefinder on the CL issues. Have either or both of these "dogmas" ever been examined by anyone or explained in more detail my Leica?
