I believe even the latest 50/2.8 will work as long as you remove the black plastic cover on the rear of the lens unit. John ---------------------------------------- I have a Somky and use it once in a while with the M3. My 2.8 50mm Elmar locks into the Somky if you slide the M mount collar toward the front of the lens. The lens bayonet prongs then engage the Somky mount. The BOOMOO is a stand that uses the same mount system. I think the head of the f2 Summacron can be fitted with a collar that locks into the BOOMOO. Of course, the 50mm collapseable Elmar works with the BOOMOO. I reckon the BOOMOO will work with the M8/9 as well.
