With CLA-1 and a stepup ring to 46mm , a shadow is still cast on the lower left hand corner of the picture when using the built in flash. Unless u used an external flash then ok.
I have the RM-1, but not aware it can do long exposure shot (press to hold the shutter as long as u want?)
Can the RM-1 function like a cable shuttle release?
