Of course, using it that way means there's no need for an auto focus body.
IAC, the whole point of this little experiment is not to revert to using
the camera and lens manually, but to use auto focus and learn it's benefits

Hi!
Today I received my first auto focus lens to be used on an auto focus
camera. The camera is the MZ-5n, which is on loan from a local list

While many lenses will physically fit on the camera, not all will work
well. Due to the shorter rangefinder effective base length, using many
lenses at wider apertures makes accurate focusing difficult. You'll note
that the lenses designed for the CL(E) are usually quite a bit slower
