I have just experimented by placing (not mounting) a Summar in front of my F100 and when I got a sharp image in the viewfinder, the focus confirmation light came on. Canon EOS cameras requires an EF mount lens for the focus confirmation to work. However, the LEM/NIK adaptor I was referring to was for mounting Nikon lenses on Leica M bodies - I don't think the M6 would confirm focus when its rangefinder is uncoupled! ;-) Bests, Joseph
