My understanding is that the camera will in fact meter correctly with a 2-cam lens, but only in stop-down mode; and in addition there is the risk of damaging the body. That is why my 2-cam 180mm Elmarit is currently in Solms having the third cam added. Nathan Dan S wrote: > The camera will not meter properly.
