The 16mm Hologon G has two barrel-segment shaped prongs extending in the back. The bottom prong covers part of the M8 light meter. DAG shaves that prong down. If your lens has two equal length prongs, it will not allow the M8 to meter on "A." If the bottom prong is shorter, it has been modified for proper exposure reading. I hope this helps. In any event, you'll know if it "A" meters well on the M8 after your first test shots. Good luck. Tom P.
