Subject: [Leica] Summicron DR on M6TTL?

There is a small location piece on the eyes which prevent removal of 
the lens with eyes attached. This locates on the top of the camera and 
would therefor foul the top of a ttl, preventing it being used. It is 
possible to remove this part to use on a ttl, leaving the risk of 
damage if absent mindedly removing the lens with specs attached, but if 
you don't use the specs this is no problem! Unless you get a good deal 
on one without specs it would be cheaper to stick to the identical 
contemporary Summicron if you have no use for the CF capabilities.
