Stephen Gandy might answer that. I know you couldn't use a first issue 28mm elmarit, but later ones worked. You can get some idea here: http://www.cameraquest.com/m5.htm You can get an idea, by putting a LTM>M adapter on the camera and cock the shutter. The meter flag will drop and you can figure it out yourself. ----------------------------- On 5/7/07, Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr@gmail.com> wrote: > > They both should work fine.
