I've already enquired and was told it couldn't be focused properly due to the mirror box etc. Or something like that. So I don't suppose this new 50 1.2 will either if it's made for an M camera use. But if it's a lens made for an slr then I suppose I'd get it and see how I liked it and if I didn't? Sell it! ted
