question
Does the lens support built-in metering?
I use it on a Nikon dF set to aperture control (manual focus) The rangefinder works well and no metering problems.

question
How is the aperture set? Is it done so using the camera itself? Many thanks.
The aperture is set by twisting the optic itself (it has a built in aperture).

question
Is this manual focus only, or will it work with the canon autofocus system?
All Lensbaby products are manual focus only. A slight learning curve, but you'll adapt. Be sure your diopter is set for your personal vision before you attempt to focus manually.

question
Is the Twist 60 at all effective with a crop sensor camera, like the micro four thirds format?
The Twist 60 was designed for full-frame cameras. We don't recommend using it on a crop sensor camera because a lot of the twisty effect will be cropped out by your camera. Here is our Twist 60 comparison between a full-frame camera and a crop censor camera: http://lensbaby.com/twist-60-full-frame-vs-crop-sensor/. Here is a review of this optic on a crop sensor camera: https://www.lifepixel.com/gear/lensbaby-twist-60. There would be even more of a crop when using a Micro 4/3 camera.

question
Is the straight body compatible with all the other optics too? How does it work with Edge and Sweet optics?
Yes, the straight body that the Twist 60 is sold in is also optic swap compatible. Everything will be centered. The Sweet optics will work great but the Edge optics need to be tilted slightly to see the Edge effect. Because of this, I would not recommend using the Edge optics in the straight body unless you want to use them like a prime lens.
