Subject: [Leica] Collapsible lenses on the M8/9

In the instruction manual it states that no collapsible lenses can be 
collapsed on the M8 with the exception of the 90/4 "macro". Just double 
checking that there is no way to collapse the modern 50/2.8? When the CL and 
M5 were introduced, you just had to put a certain width of tape on the 
barrel to limit how far the lens collapsed. Is this possible with the modern 
50/2.8 and a M8/9?
