I once had one along with a Canon 28 that I used on an M body. That lens was light enough not to cause any balance or handling problems One caveat: the converter as originally packaged included a little plastic piece that had to be inserted into the rear of the lens so that the aperture would stop down when the lens was mounted on the adapter. You'd need that part for full functionality.
