Get the precision screen for your 5d2. It will make manual focusing s
lot easier.
An adapter without a chip will not set any aperture on the camera.An
adapter with a chip will.
I don't have much trouble with wrong exposures with my Leica or olympus
lenses. But I do not stop down further then one or two stops.
Cheers,
