If you use the any of the above lenses on a M5 or CL, the lens mount has to be modified otherwise the meter cell arm will be broken. The later 21/3.4 SA came with the mount modified. On the M6, the lenses give readings about three stops too low. It is possible to modify the lens so that it is with a 1/3 stop or so.
