Bonjour Monsieur,
You must always remember that the M5 is a special case.
This is so because of the metering cell. The camera was made
not to accept some of the old lenses. The 21 mm. f/4.0, the 21
mm. f/3.4 and the first version of the 28 f/2.8 come to mind.
If they would mount, the meter cell would swing out and hit the
back of the lens. This would damage both the lens and the meter
cell.
It is possible the Leica, as have US companies, has
"retired" the older engineers and designers who would have
remembered such things.........
