Does the lens (easily) come apart in some way? Yes. The lens unscrews from the barrel. I don't know why they were manufactured that way, but they were. The barrel mate to my lens has the same serial # inscribed where the lens sits when screwed in. Perhaps the lens could be used for the visoflex or put to some other purpose, I don't know. Would some lens historian enlighten us here? There is some controversy about whether the close-up range will work on an M6. I've had no trouble; but since I also have R bodies, I no longer rely on the "eyes" for close ups. - --Gib
