Thanks, Don!

I'm not convinced that the price is right, $750. That is the lowest
price of the 3 I found with GOOGLE last night. Unfortunately, I
procrastinated and let one slip away recently for $550.

I think I'll wait a bit longer.

Cheers!

Wayne

Wayne,
It will work fine.  If the price is good then it will cut fine images.
It will still cut fine images if it is not priced right, just not on
your M5.

Greetings from a lurker of many moons.

I stumbled upon a Konica M-Hexanon 28/2.8 lens this afternoon at a local
camera shop. It appears new in the box with all caps, hood, instruction
booklet, etc. I didn't have the M5 with me at the time. I will return
tomorrow with the camera to make a final decision. My only concern is
whether or not the rear element will interfere with the meter arm of the
M5. Can anyone confirm that the Konica 28mm lens will work on the M5
body?

Thanks for your help. I have enjoyed y'all's pictures and discussions
for several months now.

Wayne
