An additional consideration which you may want to take into account is that there are, to my knowledge, two versions of the M3-style advance lever. They differ in length and the longer of the two (single stroke version?) will rub against the larger shutter speed dial of the M6TTL when in the closed position. After trying out both, I went with the shorter one, which fits quite nicely. Also - don't lose or forget to reinstall the washer situated between the lever and the retaining ring. Its friction fit keeps the lever from dangling somewhat loosely. Yikes, I guess that since this marks my retreat from the safety of LUG-lurker status, I should also introduce myself to the group as a still-new Leica user and thank Rich Pinto at Photo Village for his responsive and friendly service; it was a pleasure doing business with him.
