That's what I was afraid of...I'll never forget that sound 5 minutes after swapping lenses

There is a slight difference in the lenses from the original M Frame and the New M Frame. Unobtanium

Is it easily enough to spot the difference?
Would it be worth the effort to split and sort?
I'd kinda like to keep it all correct at this point.
I know I have earlier lenses in "new" frames. Unobtanium

No, you can't easily tell the difference. Unobtanium

So, I'm guessing the difference is in the geometry of the temple shape where they snap in?
I remember reading somewhere that there is a very slight difference. It will fit but may stress the frame a bit over time. I believe if i remember correctly (brain aint what it use to be) that the older lenses will go in a New M Frame but the newer lenses in an older frame stress the frame more than the originals do. Someone jump in and correct me if i am wrong.
Guess so. BTW, I am not able to reply to any direct messages, yet...
