The M lens will work fine on an MZ-5, just no auto aperture or program modes. You'll haveto shoot full manual or aperture priority.
I've used both the M50/1.7 and the A50/1.7. Both are excellent lenses, especially for the price. Some may complain about the focusing feel on the A lenses, but mine actually feels better than the M50/1.7. -Mat On Thu, 02 Sep 2004 09:56:59 +0200, Johan Uiterwijk Winkel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Currently I'm using a 50mm 1.7 A, an I like that lens.
