But cannot find evidence of that in the resources that I have. I was not made with a collapsible mount. (I am pretty sure that the lens head does not unscrew from the collapsible mounts). I would not buy one in your position. The big advantage for me is that it is very familiar, has a E39 filter size (which is the same as my RF35/3.5, 50/2.0). I use filters. I still need a blue filter (for the atmospheric fog we are presently experiencing). As to size, the lens is a straight 90 mm. Hope this helps.
