CV15 on a M5

[Timo]

Hello everybody, although i am a new member to this forum i've been looking around here for a while. I really enjoyed going through the topics and got some very useful information as well, many thanks for that. But i still got some questions, does any of you have some experience with a CV15 on a M5? Are these experiences good or bad? You see, i have a M5 and am planning to buy me a CV15, i know the lens is good but i wonder if it protudes too far into the body to cause problems with the light meter. I already use a CV21 on my M5 and haven't encounterd any problems whatsoever.

Many regards,

Timo

I can't answer your question, but you have answered one of mine: Does the CV 21 work on am M5? Thanks for that info. I hope someone else answers your question. I would like to know also.

Cheers!

Timo,

I use my 15 CV on my CL. You shouldn't encounter any problems at all.

Welcome aboard.

Cheers.

It works fine on an M5. The biggest problem is keeping your finger out of the frame.

Although the last time I mounted it with people around a guy with a digicam asked what the finder was for. When I explained it he said, "What a pain. Why don't you just get a zoom lens?"

Thanks for your replies guys, i will get me a VC15 and mind my fingers. I can understand why people prefer af zooms, very handy and easy to work with. But i happen to like the simplicity of my M5 and mf primes, can't help it. Glad to help you Wayne, not bad helping someone on my first posting.

Regards,

Timo
