When the DR-Summicron was uesd in the normal mode, this shade would hit the "near range part" of the focussing cam. Thus you were not able to focus to infinity. With my later M6 and I assume all M6TTL, M7 and MP, this is not a problem any more, since the shade became a little bit narrower. But I guess even if you have such an early M6 it would be no big deal to have the old style shade replaced.
