Nice camera, but large, expensive, and without a motor drive. But hey its a Leica so feel good.

It is by far the most ergonomically correct and the most intuitive SLR I have ever used. And now for a question: the manual states that using the 2-cam lenses may damage the camera. Osterloh says the same in his book. I understand that I would have only stop-down metering with a 2-cam lens, but what exactly is the damage that can be done? And does it mean that I should not mount my 6.8/400mm Telyt on the R8?
