I have used several of the two cam lenses with mine without any problems. Two cam lenses are a bit inconvenient though. With my R4 body, I had to hold the depth-of-field preview switch and stop-down meter to get an accurate reading. If I didn't do that, I had readings 1 1/2 to 2 stops off and the descrepancies were not linear. I finally sold off the remaining SL body and the two cam type lenses and bought all 3 cam.
