You need any one of the three possible LTM to M-mount adapters.  They come 
in three types, one for each of the frameline pairs available on the M6: 
50/75, 35/135, 28/90.

It doesn't make any difference which you use on the 12mm lens since there's 
no connection between the framelines and the lens's viewfinder.

Sources:

- - Used E. Leitz versions. Usually $30-60 each
- - New reproductions from Voigtlander
- - New reproductions from Stephen Gandy at www.cameraquest.com  ($100 for a 
set of all three)

I have all three types and can't really tell a difference.  Actually, I 
especially like the ones from Mr. Gandy as they have a larger red dot to 
help in mounting.
