I don't know why a duel range Summicron would have to be adapted to an M-5 but you will have a problem with the early 21 mm lenses and any of the collapsible lenses hitting the meter arm. THe collapsible lenses will work fine with the camera, but put some tape around the lens barrel so you won't inadvertently collapse them, and think of them as non collapsible lenses. john Shick
