- --------------------
 Tom - There are some physical limitations - the closeness of the
viewfinder/rangefinder to the lens that would limit apperature size, and
lens hoods, on M camera.  But I think they should be able to manage a 28
and maybe a 24 f 2 optic.  Those 1.4s 24mm C lenses are quite large.   Jim
