Dan The optics on the collapsible 2/5cm Summicron are not identical to those on the rigid 2/5cm or NF versions of the lens. The rigid/NF were redesigned and provide measurably better performance -- not a night-and-day difference, but still, a bit better. I would recommend the NF (also known as the DR) lens.
