All I can tell you is that it worked on both of mine.

M7 and M6 TTL have top plates that are a little higher than other models. You may need to remove the little black plastic stud that is meant to stabilize the goggle finder accessory by resting on the top front corner of the camera. It unscrews, as I recall. Without the goggles fitted, there is no issue at all.

I had a .72 M7 for a while, and the DR worked on it very well, after removing that same bumper/screw described by Rob-F above.

I have two M7's, my DR works on one and not the other.-Dick

Surely yes. Mine is fixed on my MP, but work fine also on my M7, actually married with Summicron 35/2 eight elements. Both are fantastic lenses.

I wondered if someone could explain to me how the dual range works, I read here (http://www.cameraquest.com/m50dr.htm)about the lens and the goggles etc but I need some help. Also, are these lens easy to find on the second-hand market?
Thanks

I've read that the Summicron DR doesn't work on the Bessa R2 series. Does that only mean the lens with the goggles? I assume that it mounts without the goggles?

VincenzoAs an Englishman living out here in the Colonies ;) I am often reminded of this fact. If you do visit Vincenzo send me a PM or email and we can perhaps have a glass of wine and compare our identical lenses!
