"He tried a lot of lenses. But much of his most famous work was taken with a
collapsible 7-element 50mm Leitz Summicron. It is a *classic* Leica lens. I
have this on very good authority and we have argued this before. Q.E.D.""

Well Mike, any names to attach to this "very good authority"?
It is not the best way to try to prove one's statements by referring to
anonymous  individuals.

I am sure the collapsible Summicron was introduced in 1954, and many of the
best of HCB
pictures were from 1931 to 1955.
