Hello everybody,

today I finished my first roll of Kodak Professional and can´t await the results. It was a real joy to use! It feels like a real M, it handles like a real M, hey folks, it IS A REAL M! It was much fun to use this special M with my other M, the MP.

Now I want to look forward to a new lens:
the first question is: are there any problems between the M5 and the current Noctilux (E 60)? I don´t know where, but a while ago I read about problems with the M5 and faster lenses like the Summilux or the Noctilux.

Has anybody experienced any problems between this special M with this special lens?

Too many folks have said that the Noctilux balances very nicely on the M5 for there to be a problem. Perhaps your body and Noctilux may need professional adjustment to make sure that the body & lens focus correctly. This applies to most M bodies and Noctilae.
 
I don't have the M5 (but Noctillux) so I can't speak from my experience but from what I have seen at flickr (Tommy Oshima's photos), this combo works very well.
 
My M5 is waiting Nocti on its nose for Spring to North, and 60mm filter need to find from somewhere as well. lens and camera balance together nicely, but no photos out from it yet.
