Depends on the cams on the lens.  If it's a three-cam lens you use the
camera as originally intended.  If the lens doesn't have the 3rd cam,
metering might be unpredictable, and there's a chance that the body's
metering cam follower will be bent if it's a two-cam lens and it's used for
many years.  Apparently the odds of any damage to the body are very small.
