If it mounted in close focus mode on the M9, then it should do the same on the M8.Riddle me this - will this mount on an M8 in close focus mode?

I would guess that there are about twice as many DR's out there without eye's than there are Rigid's. I would also venture to say that 95% of Leica Shooter's have never done close up work. Also the eye's that were taken off the DR's are mostly never to be seen again. They are in Eye HeavenPlease folks, if you have a DR, don't go and ruin it by vandalizing the focusing cam!!! If you want a Summicron from that era for the M8/M9, just get a rigid and leave the remaining DRs unmolested for those folks who still shoot film Leicas or will just use the DR for close-focus work on the digiMs.
DRs are a non-renewable resource, after all.
