[Leica] M6 with Summicron DR

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

There should be no issues with the Summicron DR and the Classic M6. I  
believe the issues you've heard of are with the M6 TTL model. Since  
you have been using this combo this should not be the issue. In any  
case the lens should be removed and attached when the lens is in the  
infinity position. Unless you've used heavy force to try and attach  
the lens I doubt if anything is broken.

Regards,
Len
