Enough, already!

I recently acquired an ancient (1954) Summicron collapsible 50mm lens.  I
intend to use it on my M3 (1955) with an MR meter.  The speed/f.stop scales
don't match - due to the M3 being produced before the switch to the current
numbering system.  However, it appears that I can use this combination as
the dial on the meter and the shutter speed does indicate about a 1/2 stop
variation on the slower speeds up to 1/250.  Is there anything wrong with
this approach?
