For years, I had disliked what it looks like until I had my own hands on one. To my surprise, this larger and heavier body fits my small hands very well. I would not say it is ergonimic, though. ;-). I shot several rolls and found that it gives better results in hand-held shooting at 1/30 sec with a 50mm or 1/15 sec with a 35mm. Also, large and heavy lenses such as a Nocti are more comfortable to use with this brick. I would appreciate comments of long-time M5 users. I have heard that a 75mm frame can be incorporated into M5. Has anybody had this modification? How much does it cost? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Mikiro Strasbourg, Europe
