Roy,

The Benser lens carrier is not convenient at all for 3 reasons.

- - You will have to unscrew it (with a coin) each time you
want to remove the base plate of the camera, and to do that
you will have to unlock one of the lenses it carries,
because that screw hide under it.

- - In order to attach it to your camera, you will need the
little pin which was present on the side of the
M1/2/3/D/Da/D-2 for attaching the Reprovit and the old CTOOM
flash bracket.
It was possible to have it added on the M6 until last year.
I don't know if it's still possible today.

- - It will scratch the base plate of your camera on the sides.

Try the Tri-Elmar.
