The cut-out portion fits over the top plate of the older M6 cameras and earlier. The M6TTL and M7 are a silly millimeter taller (two, actually). So the "stop" prevents you from mounting the eyes. Solution: Unscrew the stop and store it safely away. Voila, the eyes fit. The other version of the eyes have no stop. Collectors like to match the version of the eyes to the version of the DR. For shooting, such niceties don't matter, they all work. What does matter is whether the eyes were bent or knocked out of alignment. --Peter At 07:51 PM 6/6/2006 -0700, you wrote: >From: Kenneth Frazier <kennybod@mac.com> >Subject: Re: [Leica] Summicron DR and M7 >To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >Message-ID: <87CBD10C-FF3E-4EB9-AEF5-72E2C42A2E60@mac.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed > > >On Jun 6, 2006, at 7:18 PM, bill harting wrote: > > > Indeed they do fit, and they work.
