Hello Joe,

The Rokkor wil work on a Leica. It will pop up the 35/135 frameline on a
M6. The quality is not as good as the current Leica lenses but not too
bad either. It is very compact and light. A major problem with this lens
is that it wil get spots in the glass. Probably some problem with the
cement or coating. Until now I've not seen a clean example of this lens.
Here in Europe you still pay approx. $400. For that money you probably
can find a second hand Leica lens which will not have the spot problem.
I use a second version elmarit which is good enough if stopped down a
bit.

Best regards,

		Michiel Fokkema
