Yes - I use the R->M lens adapter a lot on my M6. Nothing much to say - after all it is just a glorified spacer ring. Solid, does the job fine. As others have noted though, there is no focus coupling to the rangefinder on any of these rings, so focus is by distance scale only. One note though, the ring that I bought had a glossy black baffle on the inside. I repainted this with jet matt black paint to help cut down on internal reflections (and because I am paranoid!). BTW, I have a detailed note on adapter rings for Leica cameras and lenses in my Leica FAQ at: <http://nemeng.com/leica/#017e> Regds, Andrew Nemeth <http://4020.net> -> photos, 360° panoramic vrs, sounds <http://nemeng.com> -> vr java applets, leica faq, tech info
