I have come home and tried my R lenses (all ROM) and can report that the 50mm Summilux R (newest version) and the 19mm Elmarit R (Latest version) will work on the Canon D60 without fouling the quick return mirror. The 19mm Elmarit rear element cowling does fit tight against the mirror box and leaves a mark. Focusing of the rear lens elements takes place within that cowling and does not extend the rear elements to the edge of the cowling when the Elmarit is focused at infinity so the rear elements also clear the mirror. I am very pleased with this discovery but admit that there was some anxiety when, after each lens was mounted, I pushed the shutter button for the first time and waited to see if the mirror was going to return in one piece!
