The rigid is preferable to the collapsible -- its optical formulation is be a tad better. As for the 90's, I'm no great fan of either Elmarit or Tele-Elmarit. I strongly recommend the collapsible 4/90 Elmar, a wonderful and most useful lens, and it DOES collapse to the same size as the 50mm lens. I also have the current 2/90 and have previously owned the older version: both are most wonderful lenses but the older design is quite heavy.
