I imagine that f/5 on that lens is not as fast as it sounds. I guess you'd probably want to shoot it f/8 to f/16 for good sharpness.
I have the M 400/5.6 and it's best from f/11 to f/16. If this lens is similar and you want to handhold with a shutter speed of 1/500s, you'd probably want to use iso400 film at minimum, even in sunny 16 conditions.
iso 400 film would give you f/16 at 1/500, however focus on a subject in deep shadow and you'll lose a couple of stops. Not to mention darker conditions than sunny 16.
Anyway, would love to see some photos from this combo @Baard-Einar
