james_to Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I see that the Summicron 50mm DR is not compatible with M8. Why is this? Can it be mounted on M8? Can it be used (and with what limitations) if the eyes are not attached? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_bretteville Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 It is because the RF cam that protrudes too deeply into the M8.
