It is on really tight.. And switching back and forth might be a major problem... For the price of a CLA'd 3g, you could get a M4-2 or early M6 that would accept your M mounted lenses, and allow you to use film... Or a MD type body if it was your intention to use external VF anyway... I also feel that once you get away from the 2 eyepieces ( VF and RF) you NEVER want to go back.. If it is a nostalgia thing.. Have fun.. but if you really want to use your lenses on a film, and the lenses are already mounted on a adapter, I think your expectations might not be met.. Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net
