Subject: [Leica] adaptor ring for 28/90 frame

Hello

This is my first LUG posting, so I'll be interested to know if it works.

I've recently bought a Ricoh GR 28mm f.28 lens and finder for my M6 0.72,
I've adapted the screw thread lens to the M6 bayonet with an adaptor ring
that brings up the 50/75 view finder frame (it was the only one I could get
at the time).

Although I like using the clip on finder supplied with the lens, there are
times when I'd prefer to use the 28/90 frame in the M6 finder (usually when
I've no space in my pocket/bag for the camera with clip on finder attached).

Does anyone know if there are any adaptor rings in existence that will
bring up the 28/90 frame on an M6 body. I once read a review of a Pasoptik
28mm screw lens that had an adaptor for a 28/90 frame, but I've never seen
one and I've never seen a Leica one either.

Any suggestions on where I could find one would be appreciated
