While we're talking of 50mm lenses, I have an SL that came with a single cam
50mm Summicron. I also have a R4S. Obviously the metering doesn't couple if
I put the 50mm on the R4S, but can I meter by using the DOF lever to stop
down the single cam lens?

I realise that the answer is 'try it', but at the moment the R4S is here in
the UK and the SL and lens are in France.

Tom,

In the Leica world, the best-performing lens at a given focal length is 
usually the one most recently updated by Leica...
