My 2nd edition late model 19 works on my D60 but fits tightly against the mirror box - perhaps that is what you remember. The latest 50 R Summilux also worked fine. I have a recently acquired 20D and find its coarser focusing screen easier to focus Leica R lenses that the old D60 (which I am going to sell eventually - anybody interested?)
