All is possible... like here where I used Canon Zoom 20-35 on film M ... two OVF though, 21 and 35 but may be better with zoom finder like follow Welcome, dear visitor!

John McMaster Posted June 28, 2023 Share #5 Posted June 28, 2023 Easier to guess focus with a 20-35, the effective focal lengths of a 35-70 on an M8 will be about 45-90...... john 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpitt Posted June 28, 2023 Share #7 Posted June 28, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you have an SL, you already have the perfect body for R lenses. Trying to use non rangefinder coupled lenses on M bodies without EVF is going to be a very frustrating experience. Only shooting with tripod and trial and error by using the back screen makes a bit of sense ( no live view) Even using these big lenses on M bodies with live view capability is for occasional use only. The SL system is a much better match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
