[LRflex] Re: DMR Question - Adaptall mount lenses

This depends on the mount. I am sure they are not recommended, but I  
mounted and used the 17mm successfully on my R8. I don't know what  
the differences are (other than there was an adaptall II  mount for  
the R3 and another for the R4 and then the adaptall II R mount), but  
I know mine works just fine in terms of exposure (it gives wrong  
aperture information in the viewfinder, but it does not seem to matter).
