When I bought my Bessa R2a, I checked reports and found the J-12 could not be mounted on the Bessa without risk of damage to the shutter or metering devices. This led me to purchase your Summaron. I would suggest you check very carefully for comments from anyone who has attempted to mount the J-12 on an M9.
