Another LUGGER, new to the list, E-mailed me in private and suggested that for additional clearance, the lens should be set on 0.7m to move the rear element into the the lens and away from the metering arm on the M5 and the CL. He (as did I) recognized the possible rangefinder focussing problem with the CL and the lens wide open. Thanks again. Bill Caldwell sneeker@erols.com
