The camera has no aperture lever. Thus, it can only meter M and K lenses wide open. e.g. If you have an M50/2, the camera will meter for f2. If you have the aperture ring set to f8, you'll be underexposing significantly. You can override the shutter speed, but you'll have to calculate the

Isnt a MANUAL focus (only) lens preferrable for macro rather than an AF lens used manually? Once again, the DOF on Macro is very shallow and I don't think you would want to rely on AF for that so a very smooth Manual Focus would be very high on the list of features you would want in a Macro lens
