The Planar will be fine with a high quality adapter, not sure about the others. If they work on a 5D, they will work on a 6D.

Confirmed non-working lenses
Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar 35/2.4 MC (PB) - lens will now mount (unlike with the 5D), but mirror hits at all focal lengths |
I was just about to pull the trigger on the M42 version of this lens when I stumbled on this thread. Does anyone know if it has mirror clearance issues too?
Also, is there a way of programming the 6D to pass on MF lens info to EXIF as you can with the Nikon D600?
Cheers,

The 35/2.4 Flektogon M42 version is fine. The PB version is a problem because of the mount, not the lens.
You can't program exif for MF lenses unless you buy a programmable EMF adapter. Note, check with the seller whether the EMF adapter will work on a 6D, as my older adapters won't function on it.

Tesarphoto hasn't got any on sale at the moment, but they look like this:

This like look nice adapters. Big-is is nice low quality adapter. Usually better quality adapters for c/y have aditional spring-plate that secure lens to not moving

Damn! Elmarit 28/2.8 was in my wish list after camera upgrade... I thought all Leica-R lenses were ok with EOS-FF...

My C/Y 28/2 AEG and 135/2 AEG work on the 6D via a cheap Fotodiox adapter.
But my 50/1.4 AEJ and 35/1.4 AEG do not... the mirror gets locked up.
This is quite frustrating. Just as frustrating is that I've bought some Leitax adapters for these lenses, but in both one of the 3 screws on the bayonet is impossible to remove and so I can't use the Leitax. I am worried about stripping the screw also.
I bought a new #00 screwdriver to try. If this doesn't work, does anyone have any ideas?
Also, how exactly does one "shave" the mirror of the 6D? Any instructions online?
Edit: I managed to mount the Leitax on the 35/1.4 (simply by not screwing one of the screws), and now it works on the 6D.
I tried the same on the 50/1.4, which did not work still. |

I tried both Leitax and Fotodiox adapters on my 50/1.4 AEG, and it still hit the 6D mirror. Or rather I should say the mirror wouldn't flip back down until I unmounted the lens.
I just tested my 28/2 AEG again. Near infinity, the lens also blocks the mirror.
Is it just my 6D? |

I'm quite sure you wouldn't be able to properly use rangefinder lenses (either than macro mode) on a SLR body due to different flange distances.
P.S.
A question has been asked regarding the maximum distance from the lens mount to the rear lens element - does anyone have the info?

Hi chaps,
I don't know the 6D, but last time I had a look at the Canon line-up (primarily the 1Ds), with the goal of switching systems, I discovered that you had to sacrifice spot and matrix metering when using a split-image matte screen -- is that still so?

The 25/2.8, 135/2.8 and all variants of the 50mm Planar are fine on the 5D and the 6D. the Tessar 45/2.8 AE works on my 6D for short distances but hits the mirror at longer distances.
The camera will set exposure but you will need to set the aperture yourself on the lens as the camera has no way of controlling a manual lens.
I buy adapters from ebay seller tesarphoto.

ok thanks a lot for your reply...
Let me please ask you something more ...
i will set the exposure on the lens by myself but will the camera see that i closed at e.g. f16 ?
Will the camera close the lens when taking a pic ?
in other words will the camera be fully operational with a manual lens or it will work only at f2,8 (base aperture) ?
Please ... i do not want to buy a 6d and waste my money .
Thanks
