The lens does not protrude enough into the body to touch the cell arm. But IMHO, you should use an incident meter because a spot meter like the one of the M5 gives a very approximate metering with a so wide angle. All the best. - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > I need a technical information regarding the metering with the M5 camera. > I am thinking of buying an Heliar (OK...Cosina) 15 mm lens and I m wondering > if it will meter properly with the M5.
