Landberg Posted November 2, 2023 Share #1  Posted November 2, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! I know that some lenses don't work with the M5 because of light meter arm. Mostly wide angle and collapse lenses. Does the newer Elmarit 28mm f2.8 ASPH work with the M5? I know it does not have the 28mm frame lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted November 3, 2023 Share #4  Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Any Leica-built M lens made since 1980 has increased back-focus (lens to film plane) to allow metering with any camera, from the M5 on. Edited November 3, 2023 by adan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
