[Leica] Summicron DR on M6TTL?

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

As one who overwhelmingly prefers the new lenses to the lenses from the
40s and 50s - to the point of considering most of the older lenses
clearly inferior as compared to, say, the inexpensive Cosina lenses - I
have to say that the DR 50 Summicron was a pretty amazing lens. When I
look at images I took with mine in the early 70s, I have to ask myself
why I sold it. But then I can't tell you what it is that I like about
it. ;-)

Evidently there are some issued with the slightly raised top-plate of
the M6 and the DR bug eyes.  I believe there's a remedy for this.
Without the bug eyes, the DR will mount as any other M lens.

It's a great lens, with a distinctive signature.

Cheers!

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone has experience using a DR summicron on an
M6TTL. Is it possible? If not, why?

Please explain any problems (or lack of trouble) in using DR on the TTL.
(I do not require the close focusing and would not be using the eyes.)

 I enjoy older lenses... and I like the images I have seen from that
particular lens, but do not know if it functions well with my camera.

Thanks,
Robert
